Plot

Anurag Basu and Prerna Sharma are soulmates made for each other, yet forced to go through several trials of life to be together.

Anurag and Prerna study in the same university, but have never conversed. 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. Prerna starts falling for Anurag.

Meanwhile, Komolika Chaubey makes her entry. She is arrogant, evil and attracts male attention wherever she goes. While Anurag realizes his feelings for Prerna, Komolika starts getting interested in him. After saving her from getting married to an old guy, Naveen, Anurag and Prerna confess their feelings, consummate their relationship, and plan to marry. Seeing them plan a future together, Komolika decides to create misunderstandings between them. She asks Anurag to marry her in order to save Prerna's house. Compelled, Anurag agrees. Unaware of the truth, Prerna is left shocked. Dazed, she gets hit by a car and is 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 instead falls down the terrace and goes missing. Anurag and Prerna happily reunite and get engaged.

Rishabh Bajaj, selfish and arrogant businessman enters. He falsely frames Anurag and gets him jailed. He asks Prerna to marry him in exchange of Anurag's freedom. Helpless, she agrees. Heartbroken and devastated, Anurag questions Prerna. She lies to him, hoping he moves on but Anurag remains adamant and refuses to give up on their love. Bajaj starts falling for Prerna. Knowing that Prerna loves Anurag, Bajaj tries to kill him. Kukki ends up getting hurt while trying to stop Bajaj. Guilty, Bajaj steps back. Anurag and Prerna unite.

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.

One month later

Anurag loses his memory. Komolika fakes an identity and misuses the opportunity to make Anurag and the Basu's believe that they got married. Prerna discovers Komolika's identity and decides to expose her but chooses to refrain in fear of affecting Anurag's brain and memory. Komolika tries to kill Prerna and her child multiple times but fails every time.

Prerna gives birth to Sneha, Anurag regains his memory. Komolika threatens to frame Prerna for murder by leaking footage of her pushing Viraj off the cliff. She asks Anurag to pretend to push her off the bridge. Bajaj, who still has feelings for Prerna, recommends Anurag to follow the plan, hoping to keep the two away. When Anurag refuses, Komolika states how he has the choice to save Prerna from murder charges and lifelong jail, if only he pretends to betray her. Helpless, Anurag asks Bajaj to promise to save and take care of Prerna. He pushes Prerna off a bridge, but as per the plan, she is rescued by Bajaj. Komolika abandons Sneha in an orphanage and bribes a worker to burn it down. Reeling from heartbreak and shock, Prerna reaches the orphanage and is devastated to see it on fire. Broken beyond belief, Prerna moves to London.

Eight years later

Prerna is a successful businesswoman in London while Anurag's business thrives in Kolkata. Prerna maintains a formal relation with Bajaj, detesting Anurag for his betrayal. Anurag hates Komolika and lives in constant guilt. Komolika has taken over the Basu house. Nivedita and Anupam live separately. Prerna leaves for Kolkata to seek revenge. Kaushik and Kukki meet and start off by disliking each other, constantly bickering every time.

Prerna and Anurag meet Samidha, an orphan, and feel a strong connection to her, unaware that she is Sneha. Kukki and Kaushik fall in love. Anupam returns. Anurag and Prerna find out that Samidha is Sneha. Eventually, Kukki and Kaushik confess their feelings. Anurag breaks ties with Komolika, reveals the truth to Prerna and shows her the proofs he collected. He explains how he tried to constantly contact her, but was isolated from any contact to her by Bajaj. The two reunite, reminiscing the time they lost, the pain they faced and get married. Enraged, Komolika stabs Prerna but ends up wounding Bajaj, as he tries to save Prerna. Bajaj stabs Komolika in return, and kills her. Before dying, Bajaj apologizes to Prerna and Anurag for being selfish and separating them. Later, Anurag and Prerna live happily with Sneha.

Production

Development

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.[4]

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 [5]

On 4 July 2018, Kapoor had a meeting with Star Plus regarding the reboot.[6] On 21 July 2018, she announced the Kasautii Zindagii Kay reboot by sharing the teaser of the series.[7][8]

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.[9]

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.[10]

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.[11][12]

The storyline took an eight years leap in February 2020.[13]

Casting

Erica Fernandes was cast to portray Prerna Sharma.[14] Later, Parth Samthaan was confirmed to play Anurag Basu.[15]

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 [16]

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.[17]

In October 2018, Hina Khan was introduced as Komolika Chaubey.[18] In June 2019, Karan Singh Grover was introduced as Rishabh Bajaj.[19] 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.[20][21]

In May 2019, Hina Khan took a break from the series.[22][23] However, in September 2019, Khan confirmed quiting the show and was replaced by Aamna Sharif as Komolika Chaubey in October 2019.[24]

Namik Paul was supposed to enter the series in April 2019 as Vikrant Sinha.[25] However, he chose the lead role in Kavach: Maha Shivratri over Kasautii.[26] Siddharth Shivpuri was then cast to play Vikrant.[27]

In January 2020, Paul finally joined the cast, this time as Viraj Bhardwaj.[28] In March 2020, Karan Singh Grover returned to play Rishabh Bajaj after his break.[29] Post his return, the series took an eight-year leap.[30] Various new additions were introduced including Parull Chaudhry, Kunal Thakur, Urfi Javed, Sumaiya Khan, Mridul Das and Minal Mogam.[31][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

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 Zurich 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

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.[60]

Reception

Critical response

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!"[61]

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."[62]

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."[63]

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."[64]

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."[65]
