The owner of the hotel, Rahul, played by the handsome Varun Sood, meets Ragini here for the first time and there is an instant chemistry between them. Rahul is good looking and the quintessential nice guy. He is smart, intelligent and genuinely likes Ragini. Running a hotel for his family, he also knows what responsibility is.
Things start to slip out of hand on the first night itself when Ragini feels something is wrong with the place, but others don’t take her seriously. Soon things go from bad to worse and the whole group succumbs to the paranormal activities one by one and go missing one by one. Soon they all decide to leave the place. What follows next is a series of scary events that turn their world upside down. Devastated by this, Ragini decides to take matters into her own hands and soon secrets tumble out.

I am hopeful and certain that viewers will enjoy it the way they have enjoyed the previous season and the films,” said Divya Agarwal.
“The series is extremely special for me as it is my acting debut and the cherry on the top is that I get to share the screen with Divya. Working on the series and with Divya has been a wonderful experience. I still remember, post-shoot, while going back home, Divya would give me feedback on my acting and I would pull her leg with inside jokes on the set. All of us have worked really hard to make this happen and I am hopeful that the audience will appreciate and give us their love and support,” said Varun Sood.
