Priyank Sharma had a crazy fan following even before he entered the Bigg Boss 11, thanks to Splitsvilla and his cute chocolate boy looks. Nonetheless, the Bigg Boss house did give him a meteoric rise, so much so that rumours of him playing the male lead in Naagin 3 started doing the rounds after he got evicted.

The first two seasons of Ekta Kapoor‘s Naagin have been pretty successful and season 3 will be going on air very soon. Krystale D’Souza, Surbhi Jyoti and Sanjeeda Sheikh‘s names are being considered for the female lead, but no official announcement has been made yet for the lead actor.

IndiaForums asked Priyank about signing Naagin 3, to which he replied:

Well, I don’t know anything as of now because these rumours are still coming to me and you are the people (media) telling me about it. If at all anything like this happens, I will definitely be overwhelmed, but for now all I can do is hope for the best.

Okay then, you heard it!
