Ekta Kapoor acknowledges Naagin VFX glitch; shares meme with a fire-breathing dragon

Ekta Kapoor reacts to Naagin 7 glitch.

Reacting to the goof-up, creator and producer Ekta Kapoor addressed the issue in her signature tongue-in-cheek style. Taking to her Instagram Stories, she shared a meme video showing the lead character transforming into a dragon and wreaking havoc. The caption jokingly read, “Ekta Ma’am on her way to the office from Thailand after yesterday’s Naagin blue screen mistake by the editors.” Reposting it, Ekta quipped, “Eggjacctlyyy (Exactly),” subtly acknowledging the error without issuing a formal statement.

This isn’t the first time the show has faced backlash. Earlier, the makers were criticised for allegedly relying on AI-generated sequences. Responding to the criticism then, Ekta had posted a humorous video featuring the show’s writers, jokingly blaming them for the over-the-top demands. “These are the people responsible! Every scene needs aeroplanes and more… Actually, I am the one to blame—I want dragons and planes with no budget,” she had said, poking fun at the situation.

Despite such controversies, Naagin remains a massive success, spanning seven seasons with the first season airing in 2015 and ranking among the longest-running franchises on Indian television. The current season stars Priyanka Chahar Choudhary as the lead, alongside Kanika Mann as the antagonist—a shape-shifting dragon.
