Can you believe that the iconic show Kasautii Zindagii Kay has turned 18? Yes, you read it! It was way back in 2001 October when Ekta Kapoor introduced the triangular love story of Anurag, Prerna and Mr Bajaj played by Cezanne Khan, Shweta Tiwari and Ronit Roy respectively. The show was on-aired for seven years. Another show that was launched on the same day was Kutumb starring Hiten Tejwani and Gauri Pradhan.

On this special occasion, Ekta shared an adorable post on her Instagram account. She wrote, "18 years ago I launched two shows on d same day oct 29 th! Both busted d rating charts ! One on SONY #kutumb n one on star #kasautiizindagiikay ! Thanku audience teams Channels ! Always grateful credit: @balajitelefilmslimited... With over 153 awards and 172 nominations, #KasautiiZindagiiKay remains to be one of the most loved shows on the Indian Television. Here's to 18 years of this iconic show! #18YearsOfKasautiiZindagiiKay #18yearsofkutumb." (sic)

Urvashi Dholakia, who played the iconic role of Komolika in KZK also shared a heartfelt post on Instagram saying, “18 years of Kausatii Zindagii Kay! The show which changed the way viewers saw Indian Television, gave them their most loved show and probably their most memorable vamp, Komolika. What it gave me was a decade full of love, recognization, and character that became synonymous with my name and me. It shaped me, changed me, taught me and most importantly thank you to each one of you, to Ekta Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor.” (sic)

For the unversed, the show recorded one of the highest TRPs at that time. A reboot of the show titled Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 is currently going on air starring Parth Samthaan and Erica Fernandes in the lead roles.
