Parth Samthaan confirmed to play Anurag in Kasautii Zindagii Kay reboot

It is to be noted that a couple of years back, Parth had faced Ekta’s irk publically. During the Vikas Gupta-Parth controversy, the producer had been forthcoming while taking good friend Vikas’ stand. And now, since Vikas and Parth have reconciled, Ekta has also welcomed him back in her gang.

Starting his career with ads, Parth made his television debut as a lead with Channel V’s Best Friends Forever?. But fortunes turned overnight with Kaisi Yeh Yaariaan, where Parth played the lead role of Manik. The show received a tremendous response. On public demand, the show recently launched its third season as a web show. Parth also has a couple of films that are awaiting release.
