## Story of Shesha

Shesha was born as an Ichchadhari Naagin because both of her parents meditated for 100 years to shape-shift into humans. She lived with her parents and her maternal cousin, Shivanya.

20 years before the events of Naagin, Shivanya's parents were brutally murdered by 5 people for the Naagmani on Maha Shivaratri. Shivanya's parents were killed by Ankush, Viren, Shailesh, Suri, and Yamini.In her mother's eye, Shivanya couldn't see Suri and Yamini because of the dark.

Shivanya never realized that they failed to get the Naagmani. Ever since that day, Shivanya and Shesha were vowed to take revenge. They also vowed to bring back the Naagmani back to it's place.

Shesha was the first Naagin in the series and shown as the main protagonist in the first few episodes of Naagin but later Shivanya was revealed to be main protagonist who waited for 20 years for vengeance. Shesha used to assist Shivanya in her vengeance. When Shivanya got married to Rithik Singh to enter the house, Shesha was always there for her cousin .She sensed Shivanya getting close to Rithik and always used to warn Shivanya not to fall for a human.Shesha helped Shivanya to kill Suri,Kabir(mongoose)and Mayuri.

Shesha then soon started to feel attracted towards Rithik and betrayed Shivanya to get Rithik by joining hands with Yamini. Yamini and Shesha framed Shivanya for the murder of Ankush Raheja and exposed Shivanya as a serpent infront of Rithik but when Rithik learnt the truth and found his real father Sangram Singh ,he then joined Shivanya to defeat Shesha .Shesha then learnt about Mahismati and for Naagmani and Rithik Singh she agreed to help Mahismati to break the magical wall in a special night which comes once in every 25 years and only during that night,the magical wall could be broken by a Naagin but she wasn't aware that Rithik with Shivanya (who had already become a human losing all her powers) has got a boon to be a very powerful Naagin for one last time for the whole night were protecting the wall from breaking. At the end, Shesha was unsuccessful and was trapped with Mahishmati for 25 years.

After 25 years, Shesha got free. Shesha named herself Ruchika and at that time fell in love with a new guy named Rocky but once again her love story was at the risk because Rocky was in love with another girl and at that time Shesha wasn't aware that the girl was her own niece, Shivangi(Daughter of Shivanya and Rithik) but when she did find out about Shivangi she and her friends killed Shivangi's family and Shesha herself killed her cousin sister, Shivanya by throwing her off a cliff when she thought Shivanya being Shivangi and assumed Shivangi being dead. She then was engaged to Rocky but at the night of her wedding, Shivangi returned and she got married to Rocky instead of Ruchika aka Shesha. Shesha then became jealous of Shivangi. When an unknown shapeshifting serpent started killing her friends she suspected Shivangi to be that unknown killer serpent but at that time she gained no proof and nobody believed her. At last when Yamini and Shesha were the only survivors, Shesha exposed Shivangi infront of Yamini. Shesha even performed a Tandav in the occasion of a special serpent night where only 100 years serpents could get a boon to be extremely powerful shapeshifting serpents, Shesha got the boon from Lord Shiva and became Shaktisali(powerful)Naagin from Kali Naagin(black serpent).She then started to hunt down Shivangi to gain Naagmani. While doing so, Shesha followed Shivangi upto Takshak Lok where she was shown the head of Takshika by Shivangi and by looking at the eyes of Takshak Naagrani(serpent queen) Takshika, Shesha got stoned into a statue.

After few months Rocky visited Takshak Lok and accidentally touched the statue of Shesha. The touch of Rocky aka Takshak Naagraj gave Shesha her life back and she learnt about Takshak Lok and Rocky being Takshak Serpent King. Shesha then killed Takshak Serpent Queen (Takshika) and took over her place as new Takshika.

Shesha/Takshika then along with Yamini trapped Rocky and forced him to join them to steal Naagmani from Shivangi and when Shesha aka Takshika got Naagmani, she threw Shivangi off a cliff and assumed her to be dead but when she learnt about Shivangi to be alive and returned back with a new serpent Anshuman she then killed Anshuman .She also killed Rocky's sister Avni whom she found supporting Shivangi.Soon, Shesha aka Takshika planned to marry Rocky but at the day of marriage she learnt that Rocky and Shivangi were together and were plotting against her. Both of them killed her.

Soon Shesha was resurrected back somehow and got a new boon to be two headed serpent. She took two forms(Ritik and Rocky)and then tried to kill Shivangi using those two forms. After that for so many years she trapped real Rocky and Ritik and used their identity infront of the world until one day Naagrani Bela and Vishakha brought her both forms (Ritik and Rocky ) to a mysterious temple where Shivangi returned and learnt the whole truth. Shesha then joined Sumitra and Tamsi to get Naagmani and three of them attacked Naagrani Bela/Shravani. Naagrani killed all of them in the mansion and protected the Naagmani.

Once again Shesha was resurrected after sometimes. Shesha then once again returned to human world when Brinda ,a Sheshnaag clan Naagin princess in the human world asked her for help.

After that Shesha returned to Naaglok with Naagrani wishing Brinda good luck for reviving Dev from death.

During Basant Panchami, Shesha got captured by saperas (snake charmers) where Bani and Mihir rescued her. Shesha then learnt that the saperas were after Sheshnaag-Kitaab/Book.
