A strong buzz is created since actor Hina Khan has been speculated to play the iconic Komolika character originally played by Urvashi Dholakia in Ekta Kapoor’s reboot version of Kasautii Zindagii Kay.

Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 was aired on Tuesday. We were introduced to Erica Fernandez as Prerna steps into Shweta Tiwari’s shoes, Partha Samthaan was seen as Anurag Basu, originally played by Cezzane Khan. While most of the cast was introduced on tuesday, everyone is still excited to know about the new Komolika, the iconic bad girl of television. In such excitment Urvashi Dholakia, the household name back in 2001 with her role of Komolika, wished luck to Hina Khan, who reportedly will be reprising the role.

Later Ekta Kapoor just made the big revelation on social media by sharing a video of Hina as Komolika and introduced her role as, "Bihar ka bewagpan aur Bengal ki adaa... Welcome Hina Khan as KOMOLIKA."

While Hina actor is yet to sign the dotted line, she admits that she’s always been a fan of the show, and in particular, Urvashi’s character. “I have followed Kasauti… regularly. And I’ve loved all the characters: Prerna, Anurag Basu, Rishabh Bajaj and, of course, Komolika — these four main characters nailed it with their performances,” she says.

Hina adds, “Urvashi is a fabulous actor. I’ve been a fan for what she did as Komolika. Honestly, when I’d see her on-screen, I never thought I want to play this character, because at that time, I wanted to be a journalist, not an actor. But now, as an actor, I realise that the audience is very smart to understand that the person is acting, performing and doing well.”
