Ekta Kapoor reacts to claims Tejasswi won BB 15 due to Naagin 6: “Poor girl, she has to constantly defend herself”

Tejasswi Prakash was announced as the new face for Naagin 6 on the grand finale episode of the recently-concluded reality show Bigg Boss 15. Minutes later, she also grabbed the winner’s trophy for the reality show. From that point forward, trolls have been flooding Twitter with allegations that the victor of Salman Khan’s show was at that point ‘fixed’ in light of the fact that she had scored the lead role in another top show on the same channel.

Naagin producer Ekta Kapoor has now reacted to the claims. In a recent interview, Ekta has said that she never met Tejasswi prior to signing her for Naagin 6.

“I don’t think I have the power to tell a channel that I want this girl as my next Naagin. I found her pretty, she clearly had a lot of love from the audience and I connected to her when I saw her and that’s all that made her win. Poor girl she has to constantly defend herself,” Ekta told Times of India.

She added, “There’s something about her eyes and I just had to cast her. Honestly, I’ve never met her except this show and when I gave her a narration now, I knew she would win when she got my evil eye, it went from Raqesh to Karan to her. I knew she would win. I felt there was some kind of luck that went to her. More than that I’ve done nothing.”
