Ekta Kapoor hints at the comeback of Kasautii Zindagii Kay

Although the message is cryptic, sources inform that it is indeed Kasautii Zindagii Kay, which will soon be back on television. “It was one of the most successful shows, not just for Balaji Telefilms but also Star Plus. The channel, which is currently facing a hard time owing to low ratings has been brainstorming on ideas to get its audience back. Apart from going in for a revamp by June, the channel wants to cash on to its old feats. After Khichdi, now they have greenlighted Kasautii. Ekta is more than happy with the developments and is already busy in finalizing the cast and storyline. An official announcement will happen soon,” shared a source with indianexpress.com.

Kasautii Zindagii Kay launched in 2001 and starred Shweta Tiwari and Cezanne Khan in the lead roles as Prerna and Anurag, the star-struck lovers, who never reunited. In no time, the serial with a Bengali backdrop went on to become a massive hit with the audience lapping up on the romance of the couple. Added to that, Urvashi Dholakia played the vicious Komolika, and her style and swag made her character an iconic one. Playing the suave businessman Mr. Bajaj, also gave a new lease of (career) life to Ronit Roy, who further went on the grab the lead role of Mihir in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. Even the title track sung by Babul Supriyo and Priya Bhattacharya became really popular.

It would indeed be difficult to imagine new faces in these roles. But as hinted by Ekta in the post, the rebooted version will also be an emotional drive and with very few love stories on air currently, we are sure, the news will come as a happy one for fans.
