Plot

Following the events in Nagina, Nigahen follows the story of Neelam, the daughter of Rajiv and Rajni, and her boyfriend, Anand. After the tragic car accident of her parents, Neelam is raised by her grandfather in the city and is finally brought back to her ancestral home in the country, as a young adult (who bears a striking resemblance to her mother Rajni). There, Neelam encounters and fancies Anand, a man who was kidnapped as a child by the powerful tantric, Gorakhnath. Gorakhnath is revealed to be the disciple of Bhaironath, who tried to reveal Rajni's identity in Nagina. Claiming to have amnesia of the events, Anand woos Neelam, and she falls in love with him. Little does Neelam know that Anand does not have amnesia and is working for Gorakhnath. The tantric has set his eyes on a powerful gem (Mani), which grants the one who possesses it great powers. The only person who knows its whereabouts is Neelam, who unbeknownst to her, was hypnotized by her late mother's guardian snakes into going to the old temple from the original story and locating the gem (an event witnessed by Gorakhnath).

Ultimately, Anand inadvertently falls in love with Neelam and reveals that he is cursed by Gorakhnath. If Gorakhnath ever catches him, he will turn him into a snake and entrap him and tells Neelam that she will never be safe with him. The story culminates with Neelam inheriting the powers of her late mother. Neelam breaks Gorakhnath’s curse, freeing Anand forever. Anand reveals his truth to Neelam and they profess their love for each other. They get married and fight Gorakhnath together. They manage to kill Gorakhnath and live happily ever after.
