On the night of her wedding, Pratha learnt that Lalit Gujral, Rishabh and Ritesh's father who was another conspirator was attacking Mahek and Pratha revealed her real identity infront of him. She even tried to kill him for harming Mahek. Pratha then used her Naagmani's powers to revive Mahek, who was injured.

Pratha then with help of Mahek and Shalakha got successful in extracting poison from Yamuna river by sucking the poison out of the river.

Pratha was slowly falling in love with Rishabh. Soon, Pratha found out her father to be alive but soon realized her father being one of the conspirators who stole *Naagmani* from Pratha but Pratha got it back and he got killed by Lord Ram's arrow. Yash revealed himself to Pratha being Sarvashreshth Shesh Naag, her destined husband.

Yash and Pratha were getting married when Pratha's tears setted fire around the mandap, which made Yash realise that she loved Rishabh. Yash sacrificed her and accepted brahmacharya so Pratha could go back to her love.

Pratha then got Sheshnaag-Kitaab (Sheshnaag's Book) from Farishta and upon reading that book she learnt about seventh conspirator who would try to kill Rishabh. In a shocking turn of events, Pratha caught Seema Gujral (Lalit Gujral's wife) when she attacked Rishabh and confronted her. Seema was revealed to be the seventh conspirator. Seema tried to kill Rishabh. It was revealed that Seema was not Rishabh's real mother.

    Pratha then found Rishabh's real mother named Chandha who was captured by Seema and with the help of Mahek, Pratha learnt Seema's actual motive which was to get Amrit Kalash from Pratha which was hidden by Mahek and Pratha's mother (Roopa) in the past. Pratha and Mahek with the help of Chandha found Amrit Kalash which was in Paatal-Lok. .Seema got Amrit Kalash from Pratha by poisoning Rishabh and blackmailing Pratha. Rishabh then learnt about Seema's truth. Seema after that tried to poison Yamuna river using Amrit Kalash but instead got Yamuna river and whole India free from the pandemic and later learnt that Mahek had replaced the bottle of poison with amrit (elixir) earlier. Pratha saved Rishabh using her Sheshnaagin powers. Seema tried to reveal the truth of Pratha infront of Rishabh by attacking her but fell from roof and the doctor later revealed Seema to be in coma.

Pratha then decided to sacrifice her powers to live with her love , Rishabh. Pratha then met Farishta and performed the ritual to lose her Sarvashreshth Sheshnaagin . Pratha then became normal mortal human being from Sarvashreshth Sheshnaagin. When Pratha was returning home she received a call from Mahek who was seeking help. Pratha went to jungle to help Mahek and found Ritesh, Rehan and Vihaan trying to molest Mahek and Rehan's wife Samayra was also present who was stabbed. Pratha then tried to save Mahek found Rishabh was also helping his brothers. While escaping from Gujral boys, Pratha got stabbed by none other than her own elder sister Mahek.

    Pratha was then got arrested for Samayra's death who died from her injuries. Pratha then got a visit from Mahek in police station who revealed her actual motive which was to become Sheshnaagin since it was her destiny to become Sheshnaagin not Pratha's who became Sheshnaagin by mistake.Mahek wanted to gain Sheshnaagin powers after Pratha sacrifice her Sheshnaagin powers. In court, Pratha was proven guilty for Samayra's death and what deeply heartbroke Pratha was that Rishabh also betrayed her and framed her for murder like her sister Mahek and other boys from Gujral family. Later in jail Pratha learnt that she was pregnant with Rishabh's baby. While in labour she learnt that Rishabh was going to marry Mahek. Pratha was told that her baby was born dead. After losing the last thing that Pratha thought was worth living she accepted her death penalty and was hanged to death but mysteriously Pratha survived and went to coma.

After a year, Pratha woke up from coma and learnt her cellmates who were released from prison were supporting her . Pratha went to Naag-Havelli where she learnt that Mahek got Sheshnaagin powers and also found out that Mahek planned the death of her child with police officer. Pratha then vowed to avenge her child and to regain the title of Sheshnaagin.

    Pratha then met Farishta who told her that current Sheshnaagin must sacrificing her powers by saying "I am not Shesh Naagin" three times for Pratha to regain her Sheshnaagin powers. Pratha then started to plan against Mahek to regain her Sheshnaagin powers. Pratha then found Mahek fighting with Yeti and witnessed Mahek sacrificing her Shesh Naagin powers by saying "I am not Shesh Naagin" three times which made Naagmani stored inside Mahek fall in the ground. Pratha then picked up Naagmani and replaced it with a fake one and left. Later Pratha met the Yeti, who was revealed to be the Farishta and made a plan to give Pratha’s powers back to her and swapped the Naagmani. Pratha became the Shesh Naagin and swears on Lord Shiva that she would take revenge from those who had killed her baby. She then killed one police inspector and one doctor who were involved in her child's murder..

Pratha then with the help of businessman Rajesh Pratap Singh entered the Gujral house with a new identity of Kiara Sharma, the fiancée of Rajesh Pratap Singh.

    Pratha then got helped by Rajesh Pratap Singh's sister, Divya who planned to marry Reehan to help Pratha. Pratha then used Divya against Reehan and Vihaan who got into a major fight and Vihaan was thrown out of the house later. Pratha then killed Vihaan and started her vengenance against the Gujrals.

    Pratha then learnt Naag-Mahal being ready to get destroyed for construction by Rishabh and his ex-army people and tried to protect Naag-Mahal but when she witnessed Rishabh himself against of breaking down Naag-Mahal, she went unclear about Rishabh's intentions.

    Pratha then with the help of her friend Naagin Gauri planned to kill Rishabh during her fake marriage with Rajesh Pratap Singh but she was not able to kill her love and she even found Gauri's dead body and assumed Mahek had killed her but she got into deeper shock when she learnt Rishabh died due to fire. Pratha then took form of Mahek and went to Urvashi who assuming Pratha being Mahek unveiled whole truth that they had made Rishabh believe that Pratha had deceived her. Pratha became devastated when she learnt Rishabh was innocent and vowed to destroy her own sister Mahek for destroying her life.

    During Maha Naag-Panchami, Pratha as a Sheshnaagin opened the entrance for Takshak and as per ritual norms, Takshak had to fulfill one wish of Sheshnaagin but when Pratha asked Takshak to resurrect her husband Rishabh, Takshak denied her request and said that he would lend her another wish whenever she wanted.

    Pratha revealed herself infront of Mahek who then knew that Kiara was Pratha. Pratha then planned Sheshnaag's Swamvar with Sheshnaag Yash to get Mahek stoned while fight with Naagin Nashika (who had the power to stone anyone who looked into her eyes) but plan backfired, Mahek did not get stoned but in fact won Sheshnaag's Swamvar and according to the rule, Sheshnaag got forced to marry Mahek who then became Shesh-Naagrani who was more powerful than Shesh-Naagin.

Pratha then planned to eliminate all her enemies at once to revenge her husband and her child. She even decided to kill herself afterward. Pratha killed Reehan and Ritesh and when she was about to kill Urvashi, Mahek told her that her daughter was still alive.

    Pratha then got trapped into Sarpganga by Mahek and Urvashi and was left to die but for the sake of her daughter, Pratha escaped from the trap remembering Rishabh.

Pratha saved India from Zach, Mahek and Urvashi's attack and discovered Rishabh to be alive. Pratha then called Mahek ( Shesh-Naagrani) and Mahek was forced to see her according to the rules of Naaglok. Pratha as a Naagin asked justice from Shesh-Naagrani Mahek to punish her culprit which was Mahek herself and as per Naaglok's rules Shesh-Naagrani must give justice to every Naagins who come to her for justice and Pratha even casted a mystical flame around to which Mahek cannot cross unless she give justice to Pratha. Pratha continously asked Mahek about her daughter's whereabouts. Since Mahek was losing against Pratha and was supposed to give justice to Pratha, she decided to kill herself (which according to Naaglok's rules would be justice to Pratha since Shesh-Naagrani Mahek herself was the culprit whom Shesh-Naagrani was supposed to punish) without telling Pratha about her lost daughter to make her suffer forever and jumped off the cliff.

Pratha then returned home with Rishabh and soon learnt that her daughter was with Professor Jeet Patil who was raising his daughter with Pratha's daughter. Professor had two kids(Prathna and Anmol )with him in which Pratha was told Anmol to be her daughter.

Pratha was again supposed to marry Rishabh but during the wedding Pratha realized that the guy she was marrying was not Rishabh but a doppleganger and soon real Rishabh arrived to stop the wedding and told everyone that the doppleganger was his twin brother Shakti who wanted to marry Pratha.

Rishabh and Shakti got into a fight and Shakti had Prathna as hostage which shocked Pratha and after the death of Shakti, Pratha learnt about a prophecy where her daughter was prdicted to be next Shesh-naagin after her but Pratha wanted her daughter to remain a normal human and Pratha even decided to start her new life with Rishabh and Anmol.

Pratha gets excited to see Anmol getting engaged to Rudra and after the engagement she goes to the fashion show stage where Anmol was saved by the mysterious serpent. Pratha finds a piece of the skin of the serpent and takes the skin to Naag-Havelli where she thanks Lord Shiva for protecting Anmol and pleads her to show the face of the Naagin who saved Anmol in the fashion show but when she tries to see the face of that Naagin she sees her own reflection which puzzles her.

Pratha learns that her nation is in danger once again through social media and when Rishabh informs her about Anmol being in danger, both rushes to Anmol but finds out that Anmol is pranking everyone and Anmol wants Pratha to meet a girl who look like her but before that Pratha senses a danger nearby her and when she learns that Rudra got injured she pleads Rishabh to take Anmol and Rudra to hospital and she herself goes to face the danger. Pratha then takes the form of Naagin after a long time and sees another serpent fighting and decides to leave without interrupting the fight.

Pratha and Rishabh then gets forced by Anmol to attend the wedding of Anmol's orphan friend. Pratha then there learns that the father of the bride has recently died and the dead father is none other than Professor Jeet Patil. Anmol even mentions that the bride is a look-alike of Pratha and Pratha then realizes that the bride is her real daughter. Pratha then rushes to see the bride and comes face to face with her real daughter, Prathna.

Pratha gets emotional learning the truth but decides to hide the truth from Rishabh and Anmol. Pratha then goes to Suhasini to learn the whole truth where Suhasini blames Professor for the childrens' switch after the birth. Pratha gets a call from Anmol where she learns that Prathna's fiancée has called off the wedding which shocks her.

Pratha and Prathna gets evicted out of the house by Patali, Anmol and Urvashi and both mother-daughter decides to eliminate these enemies but since Anmol had earlier tricked Pratha and Prathna and gained Naagmani and stored Naagmani in Gujral house so Pratha and Prathna could not kill anyone inside Gujral house and hence decide to force their enemies to leave Gujral house and them into killing each other.

Pratha with the help of Prathna gets successful in killing Suhasini first and later kills Rudra's parents. Pratha even gets to learn that her grandmother Naageshwari's anklets contain mysterious powers of 9 Naagmani and helps Prathna by knocking down Urvashi and Anmol and take their forms with Pratha shapeshifting into Urvashi and Prathna into Anmol.

Pratha eventually realizes that her end is near so she stores all of her powers in her ring and asks Takshak Naag to protect her ring untill the ring finds it's new successor and the ring provides the powers of Pratha to a new Naagin.

On the day of the wedding, Pratha makes Prathna perform the rituals to gain the title of Maha-Sheshnaagin. Pratha learns that Mahek has return who has become more powerful and evil than before with the anklets of Naageshwari. Pratha tries to stop Mahek, Seema and Urvashi from capturing Prathna. In the process, Pratha kills Urvashi. When Rudra and Rishabh gets killed , Mahek stabs Pratha which kills Pratha.
