After a long hiatus, Dimpy will be seen playing the role of naagin Jwala on Sahara One’s “Kahani Chandrakanta Ki.” In a first, Dimpy has accepted a full-fledged role in the fiction genre, that too a mythological series.

Dimpy plays a role of a female serpent who plots a revenge on a dacoit, Mangal Singh, for killing her beloved Naag Jeewan, a male serpent. The story revolves around Jwala and her revenge on Mangal Singh.

“I am super excited about the role that I have been offered by Sahara One. As a kid I used to watch a lot of mythological shows. The costumes, the sets and the characters always attracted me. I used to dress up as a kid and enact various characters,” Dimpy said in a statement.

“Finally, thanks to Sahara One, I got this excellent opportunity to be a part of a mythological show. When I was approached I didn’t think twice. The entire story line revolves around me. I am a part of practically all scenes. It sounded like a perfect role for me,” she added.
