The show is one of the longest-running seasons of the franchises on TV. While there have been shows, which have had many seasons but when we talk about fiction shows having seasons and complete new iterations every season, Naagin is a benchmark with seasons and franchises. Tejasswi Prakash stars as the lead in the show as Pratha/Prarthana.
The show has been doing quite well but there are multiple cast members who left the show due to some or the other reason. Here is a list:
1. Sayantani Ghosh

Sayantani played the first naagin on TV and her character was killed after the trps of the show did not live up to its expectations. She had told a news portal, “Yes, my character is winding up. As a show, Naagin has to keep the audience on the edge of their seats and hence, the team has to introduce high points and shockers at every stage. The creative team has decided that killing my character would serve as a big high point.”
