Arjun Bijlani • (Seasons 1 and 2) in a double role as Prince Ritik Singh and King Sangram Singh. Father and son, both having Suryavanshi lineage. Prince Ritik Singh of Suryavanshi dynasty of Panchner Sangram Singh's son and the sole inheritor of the Suryavanshi dynasty (bestowed upon with the responsibility to protect the Naagmani alongside the guardian serpents), Ritik was adopted by his paternal aunt Yamini after she tried to kill his father (causing him to go into a hiding), only to use Ritik as a pawn to acquire the mystical and rare Naagmani.

Later, Ritik married Shivanya and with her help, got to know Yamini's true malicious intentions and his real parentage. Then she stood by her in her quest to avenge her parents' murders alongside protecting the Naagmani. He became Shivangi's father, and was soon supposedly killed, as per Yamini's orders, by some greedy people (Mahendra, Manjusha and Ranveer) aspiring for the Naagmani. He, however, made a special appearance in the final episode of Season 2, where he was implied to have traveled forward in time, prompting his son-in-law Rocky to stab her daughter Shivangi with a trident, thus causing her death for some inexplicable benefit. Bijlani also played Ritik's father, Sangram Singh of Sooryavanshi dynasty, formerly the King of Panchner. He was Yamini's elder half-brother who was attempted to be murdered by Yamini for satisfying her own vengeance and ill intentions to achieve the supreme power of the Naagmani, causing him to go into a hiding, only to be rescued by Shivanya.

He then finally got to meet his long-lost son, Ritik and came together with them to bring Yamini's downfall. Bijlani (as Ritik) had a main role in Season 1, while he essayed the supporting character of Sangram Singh as well. However, his appearance in Season 2 was limited to brief cameo scenes in the first and last episodes, and in flashbacks in-between. Adaa Khan • (Seasons 1 and 2) as Shesha alias Ruchika / Takshika Naagin Shesha of Shesh-Naag Clan / Ruchika (pseudonym) / Takshika, the Naag-Rani of Takshak-Naag Clan The primary antagonist of Seasons 1 and 2, Shesha was Shivanya's maternal cousin and like her, she was also a shape-shifting snake-woman, acclaimed as Naagin. Initially Shesha assisted Shivanya in her revenge mission against her parents' culprits, but later on seeds of greed for power, position and money (that can be obtained by usurping the Naagmani) were inculcated in her mind by Yamini. This combined with her lust for Ritik led her to betray her cousin Shivanya and she joined hands with Yamini, and emerged as Shivanya's and later on, Shivangi's ultimate nemesis.

By the end of Season 1, Shivanya managed to get rid of Shesha by trapping her in the kingdom of the Mahishmatis, shape-shifting honeybees belonging to the Chandravanshi clan or Lunar dynasty. Later, their queen, Avantika joined hands with Shesha, freeing her from captivity. The two along with a resurrected Yamini became the deadly villainous trio of Season 2, where a 118-year-old Naagin Shesha took the pseudonym Ruchika and wanted to marry her new love interest Rocky alongside pursuing her dream of achieving the Naagmani and becoming the most powerful Naagin in existence. However, her plans were foiled by Shivanya's daughter Shivangi after she and Yamini viciously killed Shivanya. Shesha is acknowledged as the Kaali Naagin (literally the black serpent) due to her pitch-black textured snake skin while in her Naagin form. Shesha later gained immense powers by pleasing on performing an auspicious dance ritual before the and transformed into a Panchmukhi Naagin (literally five-headed serpent).
