Ever since the Kasautii Zindagii Kay remake has been announced by Queen of television, Ekta Kapoor on social media last month, lots of speculations are being made about the actors who will be roped in to play the characters of Anurag Basu, Prerna, Rishabh Bajaj and Komolika.

Reportedly, actors Shaheer Sheikh and Erica Fernandez who were last seen in the serial Kuch Rang Pyaar Ke are said to be playing the lead roles which were previously played by Cezzane Khan and Shweta Tiwari. However, both of these actors have denied all such reports.

When contacted Shaheer Sheikh, he said, “At this moment, all I want to say is that currently, I am in talks with a lot of people, but nothing has been finalized yet. Once I sign any project; I will surely announce to the world; to my fans.”

Erica Fernandez too denied by saying, “Once I finalize anything; I myself will speak about it. Currently, I am just enjoying my holidays. I am happy to hear that Kasautii is coming back; however, the news of me doing the show is not at all true.”

Shaheer and Erica made their way into the limelight for their chemistry in the show and also off the screen. The duo is reportedly dating though neither of them have never confessed it.

Apart from Shaheer and Erica; we also hear that actress Reyhna Malhotra who is currently seen as Svetlana Kapoor in the famous serial Ishqbaaz will play the role of Komolika, which still remains a memorable character portrayed by Urvashi Dholakia. When we contacted Reyhna to confirm the news; even she denied speaking about it. “Honestly, I really don’t want to comment anything about it. Thank you,” Reyhna Malhotra said.

After a long gap of 17 years, Ekta is planning to bring the second season of Kasautii Zindagii Kay on her digital platform, AltBalaji. It is also being said that this season will feature actors from the original show along with a few new ones joining them. The best thing we’ve known is if, given an opportunity, Urvashi Dholakia who played the unforgettable role of Komolika doesn’t mind bringing the same wickedness on screen in the brand new season too.

In an interview, Urvashi Dholakia said, “Honestly, I have no idea about Kasautii coming back; I know only so much how much you (media) guys know about it. But yes, it is that show that made me who I am. If given an opportunity, I wouldn’t mind being a part of it; but yes it all depends on the makers and the storyline.”

Kasautii Zindagii Kay first aired in 2001 starring Shweta Tiwari as Prerna and Cezanne Khan as Anurag. Set against a Bengali backdrop, the show revolved around two passionate lovers who could never unite because of circumstances.

Now we're eagerly waiting for the TV Czarina, Ekta to make an official announcement.
