Naveen is described as a “fun-loving, freewheeling adventurer who cares little about the dangers of the world. At least, that’s how it appears.”

“In truth, his easy exterior hides a heart struggling with a tragic past – one that he is determined to make amends for, even if it means sacrificing everything he loves in the process…”

Once Upon a Time returns on Friday, March 2nd.
