Brinda

**Brinda** was played by Actress Nia Sharma.

Brinda is the main character of the fourth season of Naagin and the real daughter of Naagin Manyata who was a princess of Naaglok and Keshav, a normal human being. Brinda was switched at birth with Nayanthara. Brinda was then raised by a Pandit family where she used to come across Parekh family since childhood because her foster father was a priest in Parekh family. She had a friend in childhood named Dev Parekh who later moved to Dubai.

Brinda was born in the Ashlesha Nakshatra like Nayanthara and Dev.

After 25 years, Brinda was revealed to be engaged with Rajat and she used to assist Parekh family in everyway possible while her foster mother Swara used to get very protective towards Brinda and used to criticise the Parekh family. Brinda then met her childhood friend Dev on the occasion of his grandmother's birthday . Brinda soon met Nayanthara as well who wanted to take revenge from Parekh family from the side of Manyata for killing Keshav and his family.

When Ashlesha Nakshatra returns after 25 years, Brinda got her naagin powers but she was not still aware about it. She always used to faint after transforming into naagin and used to forget those incidents of her transformations. On an event, Nayanthara found out about Brinda's true identity when Brinda saved Dev. Nayanthara then planned to kill Brinda but got saved.

Brinda was the one who told the Parekhs that Nayanthara was Manyata's daughter unaware of the fact that Manyata was Parekhs'. enemy. Brinda soon after met her real mother Manyata as well in Lal-Tekri Mandir who then recognized as her real daughter and tried to explain the reality of Parekh family but Brinda did not trust her.

On the day of Nayanthara and Dev's marriage, Manyata took along Nayanthara when she learnt her to be in danger and asked Brinda to take her place as bride. Brinda did that but not for Manyata whom she had misunderstood but for Parekh family whom she trusted a lot but Brinda got caught before the completion of marriage and got questioned for Nayanthara's disappearance . Brinda got speechless and thus the marriage got cancelled. Brinda then heard Vrushali Parekh (mother of Dev) to the boys of Parekh family to kill Nayanthara. Brinda got shocked and went to protect Nayanthara but she was too late. Nayanthara fell off a cliff and died while Manyata became very weak after Nayanthara's death. Brinda then learnt whole truth and vowed to kill the Parekhs.

Brinda then got married to Dev and entered the Parekh family. Soon she learnt that Parekhs had kidnapped Manyata and tried to find her from Madhav Parekh(one of the murderers from Parekh family) and in that process she killed Madhav. Brinda then got helped by another Naagin named Vishakha who claimed to be her mother(Manyata)'s best-friend but she never trusted Vishakha completely.

Vishakha then entered Parekh family as a business partner. Brinda then started to fell in love with Dev. One day Brinda got a call from Manyata who told her about Naagmani and asked her to meet in forest. Brinda then went their followed by Vishakha who got into a big fight with her. Brinda then saw Dev killing Manyata and vowed to avenge her.

Brinda then trained herself for one year to avenge Manyata with the help of her foster mother Swara who eventually learnt Brinda being Naagin. Brinda within the period of one year mastered most of her powers and changed her Naagin avatar willingly replacing her black-golden naagin outfit with white outfit which was similar to something Nayanthara used to wear.

Brinda then decided to return back to Parekh family but learnt Dev married to a new girl named Shalakha.

Brinda then returned back to Dev's life for revenge and had a heated conversation with him and saw Naagmani glowing from Dev's forehead and thought Dev to have stolen Naagmani from Manyata one year ago. Brinda then killed Harsh whom she saw misbehaving with Nayanthara and trying to kill her with his brothers the night Nayanthara died.

Brinda then had a typical fight with Shalakha for Dev and got suspicious of Shalakha's actual motives.

Brinda then learnt Dev to be innocent and had not killed Manyata but she got framed for Billi's murder soon afterwards. She asked for some time to prove her innocence and with the help of Ghumri, a shapeshifting owl she got Vishakha captured for Billi's murder.

Brinda and Dev grew closer once again but soon Brinda found out about Swara's death and got very furious. On the wedding day of Hardik, Brinda revealed herself as Naagin infront of Dev and tried to confront him for his crimes but then Dev attacked her and she fainted. When she regained her consiousness, she found some pages of a serpent book where she learnt Dev to have killed Swara under hypnotism and came face to face with Vishakha who then had already killed entire Parekh family under Brinda's disguise sparing Dev for Naagmani. She then learnt Vishakha happened to be Ku-Sarp(Two headed Naagin) who had killed Manyata in the form of Dev.
Brinda then took Dev to Rahasmayee temple to save him from poison but got captured by Vishakha and Shalakha and found out Shalakha was actually Nayanthara who got a new face to take revenge from Brinda. Brinda then summoned Shesha from Naaglok for help who y then had already become a good Naagin. Naagrani Sharavani also soon came to rescue and three of them teamed up to kill Vishakha and Shalakha but still Dev was dying. So all three Naagins performed Tandav to call upon Sarvasheshth Aadinaagin.

Aadinaagin Naageshwari then appeared and told her story to Brinda and after the completion of the story Dev got revived and both of them decided to start their life from beginning.
