“So much of Halloween has become about dressing up as your favourite characters and pop culture moments. Sometimes they’re spooky, sometimes they’re funny, and sometimes it’s a tribute (red heart emoji)
And who could possibly be more iconic than Mumma, Rishi uncle and Amrish sir!! (Teary eyes and white heart emoji) Got a little help from (Shushing Face, Winking Face and lipstick emojis) for the lewk,” Janhvi went on to add.

Speaking about ‘Nagina’, the project has been directed by Harmesh Malhotra, who has also backed the drama under the banner of Eastern Films.
The screenplay of the movie has been written by Ravi Kapoor, with the story provided by Jagmohan Kapoor.
