Hina, who has been cast as the shape-shifting serpent protagonist in "Naagin 5", says the show is far removed from her usual family soap experience.

"Honestly, I felt like a baby again. Although I have an experience of a good 11 years now, I felt like a baby because 'Naagin' is not like a normal family drama soap. It is a very technical show," Hina told IANS.

The actress, who has acted in family soaps such as "Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai" and "Kasautii Zindagii Kay", says working on a supernatural show as "Naagin" is all about imagination.

"You really have to imagine stuff. In most parts we shoot against green screens. So, for me it has been a different experience and I really loved it. I am glad that I am exploring this," she said.

Earlier seasons of "Naagin" had actresses like Mouni Roy and Surbhi Jyoti playing the central role.
