Icchapyaari busts Icchadhaari myths

Mumbai

Sony SAB’s upcoming show, Icchapyaari Naagin is something to watch out for! Priyal Gor who plays the lead as Iccha, is, as the name suggests, as pyaari as one can be. She descends on earth to debunk the myths and negative perceptions about Naags/Naagins that people on earth manifested. While in Naagisthan, Iccha and her fellow tribe happen to watch a glimpse of what is shown as entertainment on earth, pop culture representing snakes as pure evil and vengeful creatures. Whereas the truth is far from what is shown and believed by many. Here are some top myths about Naags/Naagins that are actually fabricated.

It’s a popular belief that offering milk to snakes will fulfil all your wishes but very few people know that snakes do not drink milk in fact they are quite lactose intolerant since milk is not part of their natural diet. Snake charmers usually starve snakes during festive season and hence they drink milk since they have no other choice.

There is nothing called a ‘Naagin Dance’, snakes do not dance. In fact, snakes cannot hear clearly and thus cannot appreciate music or decipher beats. They have a great sense of smell and touch but not of the acoustics. When you see a snake’s swirly movements, it is nothing but its response to the movements made by the snake charmer.

It is also believed that snakes are very vengeful and if by accident or otherwise one ends up killing a snake’s partner, it comes after the killer for revenge which in itself is quite farfetched.

These are only some of the common misconceptions that people have about snakes, many more such beliefs will be given a reality check by Iccha in Icchapyaari Naagin.

Priyal Gor, who plays Iccha, says, “Iccha has come to Earth to bust all the myths about naagins that humans have. Iccha is a very innocent and loveable naagin totally opposite to how naagins are perceived and believes in living in peace and harmony. Her interactions with the humans will be an eye opener and she will set the facts straight.  If you have a look at the promos that are currently on air they bust a lot of myths about naagin dance and snakes biting people without being provoked. ”
