Ekta said she is not under any pressure because of the last two seasons not doing well on the TRP charts, she said, "I feel after doing the six seasons right now there is comparatively less amount of pressure. The last two seasons have not done so well, though if you see the weekend numbers it still much better than a lot of other shows. Because the weekend slot is itself down, also Naagin 4 and 5 did not get that great numbers, in fact, I don't have pressure working on season 6. I am not taking that extra pressure and now I am actually doing what I want. I don't have to follow any precedence that the last two seasons were such a big hit that this time it has to be a bigger hit. Secondly, when my friend narrated me this concept and she told me you should do this and corona is not just about the disease, it is a mind changing thing, she told me I am no longer dealing with relatable topics in the country. I actually knew at that point ke mujhe gaaliyaan padne waali hai because agar yehi kaam koi really celebrated maker karta, things would have been different. Naagin is out an out mass, commercial pulp show and there will be criticism and I am fine with it because I am not calling it corona. I want to show what people went through in the last 2 years."
Talking about if she is ready to face the trolls and backlash, Ekta said, "I knew very well and I was sure that I will get trolled. I was ready for it. In west if you see they make shows out of real incidents and they work well. Like Titanic came out of a real incident. The pandemic is something that the US based OTT channel will do it. We are witnessing history and we all have changed in the last two years and Naagin also had to change. I made one during the pandemic and I felt I'd lost the zest, I personally felt this time will also be the same. I definitely felt there was something new in the first Naagin which was missing when I was writing a lot of the stuff later. I thought it's not just me the world has changed a lot and to deal with the pandemic in a space where the Naagin takes a revenge. I still remember everyone's face when I read it and they said it is terribly ridiculous but everyone felt it can either really work or can be really bad. I honestly believed that it was the time for me to do something that shakes the basics of the show otherwise it is always the personal revenge saga. How many times I can show the same thing."
