Plot

[edit]

Anurag Basu and Prerna Sharma are twin flames made for each other, yet forced to overcome obstacles to be together.

Set in Kolkata, the story focuses on Anurag and Prerna who study in the same university. Fate keeps pulling them towards each other and as they get to know one another, they slowly form a bond of trust, understanding and friendship. Anurag's mother, Mohini wants a daughter-in-law who can match the status and wealth of the Basu family and is disappointed to see Anurag and Prerna's closeness. Prerna falls for Anurag. But Naveen, an evil man blackmails Prerna to marry him. Anurag senses something is not right so he decides to reveal Naveen's hidden colours and save Prerna's life. Naveen is exposed and arrested. In between all these incidents, Prerna and Anurag fall in love with each other.

Komolika Chaubey is an arrogant, selfish, evil and narcissistic woman. While Anurag realizes his feelings for Prerna, Komolika becomes obsessed with him, even though her sister, Mishka is in an alliance with him. Naveen abducts Prerna but Anurag saves her. Anurag and Prerna confess their feelings to one another, consummate their relationship, and plan to marry. Seeing them plan a future together, Komolika plots to create misunderstandings between them. She poisons Mohini which nearly kills her and when Anurag's father Moloy and Prerna's father Rajesh discover her truth, she even causes their accident, in which Moloy becomes comatose and Prerna loses her father. Moloy knows Komolika's real face but is unable to say it to anyone as he becomes paralysed. Komolika further asks Anurag to marry her in order to save Prerna's house. Compelled and helpless, Anurag agrees and this makes Mohini happy. Unaware of the truth, Prerna is left shocked. Dazed, she is hit by a car and taken to the hospital, where she is revealed to be pregnant.

Hurt and rebellious, Prerna enters the Basu house, successfully exposes Komolika and gets her arrested. Komolika escapes prison and returns to kill Prerna, but falls down the terrace and goes missing. Komolika's brother Ronit, who is also Prerna's sister, Shivani's ex boyfriend, attempts to kill Prerna to avenge Komolika's presumed death but she gets saved once again. Anurag and Prerna happily reunite and get engaged.

Rishabh Bajaj is a successful, powerful and selfish businessman. He falsely frames Anurag and gets him jailed. Further, he asks Prerna to marry him in exchange for Anurag's freedom. Helpless, she agrees. Heartbroken, Anurag questions Prerna. She lies to him, hoping he moves on but Anurag remains adamant and refuses to give up on their love. Mr. Bajaj married Prerna so that his daughter Kukki can have a mother figure in her life. However, Rishabh starts falling for Prerna. Aware of the fact that Prerna loves Anurag, Rishabh tries to kill him. When his daughter Kukki ends up getting hurt while trying to stop Rishabh, he steps back. Anurag and Prerna reunite again.

Vengeful, Komolika makes a comeback. Prerna reveals her pregnancy to Anurag and the two rejoice as they get ready to marry. Komolika causes Anurag's accident and everyone believes he is dead.

Anurag loses his memory. Komolika undergoes plastic surgery and fakes an identity of being Sonalika, misusing the opportunity to make Anurag and the Basus believe that they got married. Anurag does not remember his time with Prerna and believes he loves Komolika. Prerna discovers Komolika's identity and decides to expose her but refrains in fear of affecting Anurag's memory and health. Komolika tries to kill Prerna and her child multiple times but fails to do so.

Prerna is all set to marry Viraj but when he realises she still loves Anurag, he kidnaps her and tries to forcefully marry her and in a pursuit to rescue Prerna, Anurag regains his lost memory. Later on Prerna gives birth to Sneha and reconciles with Anurag. Komolika threatens Anurag to frame Prerna for Viraj's murder, which was in reality just an accident. She asks Anurag to pretend to push Prerna off the bridge. Rishabh, who still has feelings for Prerna, recommends Anurag to follow the plan, hoping to keep the two away. When Anurag refuses, Komolika threatens life long jail for Prerna. Helpless, Anurag agrees and asks Rishabh to promise to save Prerna.

Anurag pushes Prerna off a bridge and she gets saved by Rishabh. Komolika then abandons Sneha in an orphanage and bribes a worker to burn it. Reeling from heartbreak and shock, Prerna reaches the orphanage and is devastated to see it on fire and assumes Sneha to be dead. Broken beyond belief, Prerna moves to London with Rishabh, leaving behind Anurag with Komolika.

[edit]

Prerna thrives as a successful businesswoman in London while Anurag's business does well in Kolkata. Prerna maintains a formal relation with Rishabh, still detesting Anurag for his betrayal. Anurag hates Komolika and lives in constant guilt. Prerna leaves for Kolkata once again to seek revenge from Anurag for betraying and deceiving her and also for her daughter's death. Prerna promises to ruin Anurag, not knowing the fact that he is innocent and their separation was actually Komolika's conspiracy. Anurag and Prerna meet an orphan, and feel a powerful connection to her, unaware that she is Sneha, who has survived the fire.

Eventually, Anurag realises his mistake of leaving Prerna and that he still loves her the most. He breaks ties with Komolika, reveals the truth to Prerna and shows her the proofs. He explains how he repeatedly tried to contact Prerna, but was isolated by Rishabh. The two reunite after a long wait, reminiscing the time they lost, the pain they faced and remarry. Komolika unveils all her crimes and states that she was in fact the one who had killed Viraj, not Prerna. Anurag and Prerna also discover that their long lost daughter Sneha is alive and bring her home.

Enraged after seeing Anurag and Prerna reunited and all her sinister plans destroyed, Komolika tries to stab Prerna but unintentionally wounds Rishabh, when he jumps in between and tries to save Prerna. Rishabh stabs Komolika in return, and she finally dies. Before dying, Rishabh apologizes to Prerna and Anurag for being selfish and separating them and asks them to take care of Kuki, who has fallen love and is in an relationship with Anurag's sister's son, Kaushik.

Development

[edit]

Kasautii Zindagii Kay is a reboot of the 2001 series of the same name, which was also produced by Ekta Kapoor under Balaji Telefilms for Star Plus.[5]

In February 2018, Ekta Kapoor revealed that she was creating a rebooted version of one of her old series stating:

With a piece of my broken heart I wrote in 2001, 17 years later I reboot it dipping in personal pain and lacing it with experiences of an older me! Bringing back my most successful love saga that ran for 9 years! Again, I’ll take my broken heart & make it into art!

— Ekta Kapoor[6]

On 4 July 2018, Kapoor had a meeting with Star Plus regarding the reboot.[7] On 21 July 2018, she announced the Kasautii Zindagii Kay reboot by sharing the teaser of the series.[8][9]

In September 2018, Shah Rukh Khan introduced Parth Samthaan and Erica Fernandes as Anurag Basu and Prerna Sharma in the first promo of the series.[10]

Kapoor revealed that the character Anurag was named after her director friend and the character Prerna was named after her father's friend Prem Chopra's daughter.[11]

Esha Deol and Bharat Takhtani unveiled one of the sculpture depicting Kasautii Zindagii Kay's lead characters Anurag and Prerna in Mumbai on 10 September 2018.

In September 2018, twenty five feet statues of the lead characters Anurag and Prerna were unveiled across ten cities in India by popular actors to promote the series.[12][13]

The storyline took an eight years leap in February 2020.[14]

Casting

[edit]

Erica Fernandes was cast to portray Prerna Sharma.[15] Later, Parth Samthaan was confirmed to play Anurag Basu.[16]

I had a few personality traits in mind for Anurag and Prerna. Anurag had to be the kind of man who doesn't scream to get noticed, but once you notice him, he's unforgettable. For me, Parth was an obvious choice because he has unbelievable eyes. I have not seen a man whose eyes reflect that depth even in photographs. Prerna is someone who comes across as light-hearted, but has a lot of depth. When I saw the promo of Erica's show, Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi, I knew I wanted to cast her.

— Ekta Kapoor[17]

Uday Tikekar, Shubhaavi Choksey, Kali Prasad Mukherjee, Kanupriya Pandit, Pooja Banerjee and Sahil Anand were cast to play prominent roles of Moloy Basu, Mohini Basu, Rajesh Sharma, Veena Sharma, Nivedita Basu and Anupam Sengupta.[18]

In October 2018, Hina Khan was introduced as Komolika Chaubey.[19] In June 2019, Karan Singh Grover was introduced as Rishabh Bajaj.[20] Initially, Upasana Salunke played Tapur Basu but was soon replaced by Priyal Mahajan, who was again replaced by Aastha Abhay in April 2019 and yet again replaced by Garima Parihar in March 2020.[21][22]

In May 2019, Hina Khan took a break from the series.[23][24] However, in September 2019, Khan confirmed quiting the show and was replaced by Aamna Sharif as Komolika Chaubey in October 2019.[25]

Namik Paul was supposed to enter the series in April 2019 as Vikrant Sinha.[26] However, he chose the lead role in Kavach: Maha Shivratri over Kasautii.[27] Siddharth Shivpuri was then cast to play Vikrant.[28]

In January 2020, Paul finally joined the cast, this time as Viraj Bhardwaj.[29] In March 2020, Karan Singh Grover returned to play Rishabh Bajaj after his break.[30] Post his return, the series took an eight-year leap.[31] Various new additions were introduced including Parull Chaudhry, Kunal Thakur, Urfi Javed, Sumaiya Khan, Mridul Das and Minal Mogam.[32][33][34][35]

In June 2020, when filming was about to resume post the halt owing to the coronavirus pandemic, it was confirmed that Grover will not be returning.[36] On 25 June 2020, Karan Patel was confirmed to be replacing Grover as Rishabh Bajaj.[37][38] Soon after, Sumaiya Khan was replaced by Tasheen Shah as Sneha Basu.[39] Kunal Thakur, also decided to not return to shoot owing to the pandemic and was replaced by Akash Jagga as Kaushik Basu.[40][41] Sahil Anand, who played Anupam Sengupta also confirmed not returning post the outbreak.[42] But he decided to return in September 2020 to wrap up the series, which went off air on 3 October 2020.[43]

Filming

[edit]

Kasautii was mainly filmed in Mumbai in Killick Nixon Studio but certain scenes were shot in Kolkata as the show's storyline was based in West Bengal.[44]

The promo which featured Shah Rukh Khan introducing Parth Samthaan and Erica Fernandes as Anurag and Prerna was shot at Mumbai's Kelve Railway Station.[45]

Parth Samthaan, Erica Fernandes, Karan Singh Grover, Pooja Banerjee, Sahil Anand and Tarun Mahilani flew to Zürich in June 2019 to shoot the Switzerland track.[46]

On 12 July 2020, Parth Samthaan was tested positive for coronavirus and the shooting of the series was halted.[47] The shooting was resumed on 17 July 2020 while the story was tweaked for Samthaan's absence until his return.[48] Erica Fernandes and Aamna Sharif tested negative but were advised to shoot from their respective homes.[49] After a week, Fernandes decided to resume shooting on the sets.[50] On recovering and testing negative, Samthaan quarantined himself for two weeks and returned to shoot on 6 August 2020.[51][52]

The shooting of the series wrapped up on 18 September 2020.[53]

Broadcast

[edit]

Kasautii Zindagii Kay was supposed to premiere on 10 September 2018, but was postponed to 25 September 2018.[54]

The last episode of Kasautii aired on 3 October 2020.[58]

Reception

Critical response

[edit]

Shweta Kesari from India Today said, "Parth Samthaan and Erica Fernandes beautifully fit into the shoes of punctual Anurag and carefree Prerna. The grandeur and magnificence of the show will make your jaw drop. The makers have tried to retain the essence of Kolkata and Bengalis. Overall the show is a complete package of entertainment for soap viewers!"[59]

Soumya Srivastava from Hindustan Times described the show as "louder and garnish" and said, "The background score is excessive. It plays without reason and way too often. Whether the scene demands it or not, a joyful, somber or a comical tone is always there to force your brain into thinking that this is how you are supposed to feel right now."[60]

Times Now commented that, "The reboot takes you in the lives of Anurag and Prerna that were part of our every day lives and the first episode is all about nostalgia of the epic Kasautii Zindagii Kay."[61]

Priyanka Bansal from The Quint stated, "Both Erica Fernandes and Parth Samthaan are new and have huge shoes to fill. More often than not, Erica looks bored and still has a long way to go with her acting skills. The chemistry between Parth and Erica too seems to be lacking. When it comes to production values, it of course shows primarily in the sets. As OTT and royal as they come, they scream money from the rooftops."[62]

The Times of India stated, "Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 has a cinematic appeal. The visuals and the sets are grand. The difference in the financial status of Anurag and Prerna is well brought-out through their homes and familial set-up. Even though the show moves at a swift pace, it is the long introduction of characters in the beginning that is bound to make you impatient. Erica and Parth look their part, yet there is more one wants to see out of them in the upcoming episodes. The first episode is a breezy watch and keeps you hooked."[63]
