MUMBAI: Simba Nagpal rose to fame by playing the role of Virat in the Shakti - Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki on Colors. He later participated in Bigg Boss 15, and viewers loved his honest and down-to-earth nature.
Simba is currently playing the lead in Colors’ supernatural show Naagin 6. He is paired opposite Tejaswi Prakash.
TellyChakkar got in touch with the actor and asked how it has been shooting for Naagin 6. He replied, “It has been really great, and I'm waiting for more scenes. It's a little hectic, but I'm enjoying it a lot.”
What made you say yes to this show?
“I had some web series options, but from the beginning, I've loved the fantasy genre. This show is in the supernatural space and it's a Balaji Production, so I had to say yes.”
This season has great actors. Do you get to learn from them?
“I learn more from them off screen rather than on screen. They are senior to me, but they're so down to earth and humble. So I intend to be like them.”
Post Naagin, what are you going to focus on?
“For me, it's about the character that I'm playing. I don't want to do a cliched or monotonous character that has already been played by many. I'm looking forward to doing web series if I don't get a different character. I took up Naagin because my character is very interesting and different.”
How do you feel about your journey so far?
“I have taken only baby steps in the industry. I haven't yet done something major yet, and I strive to do something big in the near future. The people that I've met have inspired and motivated me a lot to do better work.”
Good luck, Simba!
