Naagin 7: Zayn Ibad Khan enters Priyanka Chahar Choudhary's show as Yaman, the dragon; says 'it has always fascinated me...'

Naagin 7 continues to rule the hearts of the viewers and keep them hooked to the show. As the story expands into a far more intense and high-stakes battle, one that transcends personal vendettas and moves towards protecting the nation itself, a formidable new force steps into the spotlight, threatening to shift the balance entirely.

Zayn Ibad Khan joins the show as Yaman. He will play the character who is not openly aggressive but is dangerous in a subtle and quiet way. He will be Introduced as Pinky’s fiancé, Yaman and he manages to make a place within the family. He will be shown as calm, charming, and composed to the world but behind the controlled exterior lies a far more calculated and dangerous presence. He watches, he reads the moment, and he strikes only when it matters. Yaman is one of Naagin’s toughest opponents so far His presence turns the fight into a game of mind, timing, and smart planning rather than just physical strength. With hidden identities, shifting loyalties, and a constant game of one-upmanship, his entry adds a gripping new layer of tension.




Speaking about the role, Zayn Ibad Khan said, “Having been deeply influenced and inclined towards dragons through Japanese manga (Dragon Ball Z) and GOT (Game of Thrones), it has always fascinated me how powerful and resilient dragons can be. With Yaman, what intrigued me most is that he’s a strategist, someone who reads the room, studies his opponents, and knows exactly when to strike. His strength isn’t about noise, it’s about control. Voicing and performing a character like this comes with its own challenge. Along the way, I’ve developed a sense of how one can project the voice of a dragon to make it sound powerful and graceful. You’re not just delivering lines, you’re crafting an energy that feels ancient, calculated, and slightly unsettling. I’m really looking forward to audiences discovering Yaman, because he’s not someone who reveals himself all at once, he unfolds move by move.”
