Alice Kaushik, portraying the role of Icchadhari Naagin Bharani in Colors TV and Balaji Telefilms’ hit series Naagin 7, is unwell.

Recently, according to a report in IWMBuzz, she was suffering from typhoid and jaundice, and was recommended to take a break and undergo treatment.

Bharani also plays a significant role in the show, being involved in the plot alongside the main character Ahana (Priyanka Chahar Choudhary) as the other Naagin.

The report quoted the source saying, “Alice has been diagnosed with both typhoid and jaundice. She was on location filming, supported by the team assisting her.”

Alice was contacted by the publication, stating, “I’m in recovery, but it’s a slow process. To be truthful, the past 10 days have been challenging. I was unaware that I had typhoid and jaundice while I was shooting until it became too late. I believed I was simply unwell, but my condition worsened, prompting them to call the on-set doctor for testing. The team is friendly; we coped with the health issue during filming. They provided care.”

Alice's grace and powerful portrayal in Naagin 7 have earned her significant admiration and acclaim. We hope she recovers quickly.

The creators are also set to present a powerful storyline for Bharani, featuring her romantic interest, an Icchadhari Naag.

The publication exclusively reported news about young actor Kshitij Dholakia, the son of renowned actress Urvashi Dholakia, becoming part of the cast of Naagin 7 in this role.

Kshitij, he began his journey in the entertainment industry, demonstrating his skills offstage. He worked as the assistant director on notable Bollywood productions, including Sajid Khan’s Humshakals (2014) and the 2019 film Dream Girl. At this moment, he can showcase his talent for acting.

There are reports indicating Rithvik Dhanjani and Vivek Dahiya’s involvement in the show, but an official announcement has yet to be made.
