Nagpal was born on 25 September 1996 in Delhi, India.[5] He completed his secondary education in Sushant School of Art and Architecture. He later completed his bachelor's in Ansal University, Gurgaon.[6]

Career

[edit]

Nagpal made his first appearance in the reality show MTV Splitsvilla 11 in 2018 as a contestant and finished in 8th place. In 2019, he auditioned for another reality show, MTV Roadies, but didn't qualify for the culling round. Later that same year, Nagpal made his acting debut with a leading role as Virat Singh in Colors TV's soap opera Shakti - Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki, opposite Jigyasa Singh.[4]

After the show ended in 2021, he participated in Colors TV's reality show Bigg Boss 15,[7] where he finished in 16th place. However, his instincts in the house were praised by host Salman Khan, who commented, "You're moving ahead with dignity and in a dignified way".[8][9]

In 2022, Nagpal joined the Balaji Telefilms thriller supernatural franchise Naagin for its sixth season,[10] where he portrayed Rishabh Gujral in Naagin 6 opposite Tejasswi Prakash.[2][4] Initially, the show received criticism because of its storyline, however, it later won hearts, particularly for the chemistry between the lead pair, and gained better ratings.[11][12] In December 2022, he quit the show after the leap.[13]

From September 2023 to February 2024, he was seen as Jay Khurana opposite Shivangi Joshi in Sony TV's Barsatein – Mausam Pyaar Ka.[14]
