Pearl V Puri: I believe naagins exist, just like God does.

Collaborating with TV czarina Ekta Kapoor
was on lead actor Pearl V Puri's wish list
ever since he set foot in the telly industry.
Seven years and a string of popular shows -
including Badtameez Dil, Meri Saasu Maa,
and Naagarjuna Ek Yodha - later, the actor
finds himself headlining the cast of
Kapoor's much sought-after show, Naagin
3.
"Ekta ma'am's understanding of content is
unparalleled. It's a privilege to be part of
her show," says Puri, who essays the role of
Maahir in the fantasy series that also
features Surbhi Jyoti, Anita Hassanandani
and Karishma Tanna.
Though comparisons with Arjun Bijlani and
Karanvir Bohra - who led the first and
second season respectively are
inevitable, the actor doesn't feel the
pressure. "Karanvir and Arjun gave their
best in the show. The only thing I can do is
live up to the audience's expectations by
giving my 100 per cent."
Puri goes on to say that his conviction in
the fantasy show stems from his belief in
the supernatural. "I've not seen a naagin in
real life. But, I have experienced paranormal
activities as a child. When I was seven, I
sensed ghosts around me. Everything
exists, it's all about what you believe in. I
believe naagins exist. If one believes there
is God, then there must be a devil too."
If on one hand, the show has topped the
TRP charts, on the other hand, it has also
seen more than its fair share of detractors.
Naysayers have often ridiculed the shape-
shifting serpents' drama, terming it
regressive and ludicrous.
However, the actor believes Naagin 3 shines
on all counts right from high production
values to its storyline. "Naagin is gripping
and convincing in its storytelling. It can well
be compared to international shows. It's on
par with say, a Game Of Thrones."
