Netizens compare Hina Khan and Surbhi Chandna in 'Naagin 5'

For the unversed, Hina Khan had been a part of the fifth season of Naagin for only three episodes. Although fans were quite disappointed after realising that Hina had a stint in Naagin 5, many very rejoiced when it was announced that Surbhi Chandna will be taking over the role instead, as her reincarnation. Initially, Naagin 5's cast was headlined by Hina, alongside Dheeraj Dhoopar and Mohit Malhotra. However, now, the show's lead cast will be headlined by Surbhi alongside Mohit Sehgal and Sharad Malhotra. 

Meanwhile, the internet was taken by surprise when it was revealed that Surbhi will be playing the incarnation of Nageshwari, played by Hina in Naagin 5's initial episodes. As both the leading ladies enjoy a massive fan base across the country, it would be safe to say that comparisons were inevitable. The internet has been divided into two groups, with one rooting for Hina as the best Naagin while another rooting for Surbhi.
