Kasautii Zindagii Kay

Kasautii Zindagii Kay (transl.Trials of Life) is an Indian romantic drama television series produced by Ekta Kapoor under Balaji Telefilms.[2] It premiered on 25 September 2018 on Star Plus.[3] It stars Parth Samthaan, Erica Fernandes, Karan Singh Grover and Aamna Sharif.

Plot

Anurag Basu and Prerna Sharma are two individuals meant to fall in love yet forced to go through several trials of life to be together.

Fate keeps pulling Anurag and Prerna towards each other. As they spend time together, they 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 realises his feelings for Prerna, Komolika starts getting interested in him.

Anurag and Prerna confess their feelings, plan to marry each other and consummate their relationship. Seeing Prerna and Anurag 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. She gets hit by a car and is taken to the hospital where the doctor reveals her to be pregnant.

Hurt and rebellious, Prerna enters the Basu house, successfully exposes Komolika and gets her arrested. Komolika escapes and comes back to kill Prerna but instead falls down the terrace and goes missing. Anurag and Prerna reunite and get engaged.

Rishabh Bajaj, a ruthless and cunning businessman enters. He falsely frames Anurag and gets him jailed. Further, he asks Prerna to marry him in exchange of Anurag's freedom. Helpless, Prerna 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.

Rishabh starts falling for Prerna. Knowing that Prerna is still in love with Anurag, Rishabh tries to kill him. Kukki tries to stop Rishabh but ends up getting hurt. Guilty, Rishabh steps back while Anurag and Prerna unite.

Vengeful, Komolika makes a comeback. Prerna reveals to Anurag about her pregnancy 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.

Prerna gives birth to Sneha and Anurag regains his memory. They rejoice and plan to marry. Komolika threatens to frame Prerna for murder by leaking footage of her pushing Viraj off the cliff. She further asks Anurag to accept her and leave Prerna. Helpless, Anurag pretends to betray Prerna and pushes her off a bridge, but she is saved by Rishabh. Prerna reaches the orphanage where Komolika abandoned Sneha and is devastated to see it on fire. Reeling from shock and heartbreak, Prerna moves to London with Rishabh.

Eight years later

Prerna is a successful businesswoman in London while Anurag's business thrives in Kolkata. Prerna maintains a formal relationship with Rishabh and Anurag hates Komolika. Prerna detests Anurag for his betrayal while he lives in guilt. Komolika has taken over the Basu house. Nivedita and Anupam have separated. Prerna leaves for Kolkata in order to seek revenge from Anurag. Kukki and Kaushik start off by disliking each other, constantly bickering everytime they meet.

Guests

Production

Kasautii Zindagii Kay is a reboot of the 2000 series of the same name, which also was produced by Ekta Kapoor under Balaji Telefilms for Star Plus.[4]

Kasautii was supposed to premiere on 10 September 2018, but was postponed to 25 September 2018.[5]

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.

Casting

In September 2018, Shah Rukh Khan introduced Parth Samthaan and Erica Fernandes as Anurag Basu and Prerna Sharma.[7] Uday Tikekar, Shubhaavi Choksey, Kali Prasad Mukherjee, Kanupriya Pandit, Pooja Banerjee and Sahil Anand were cast to play the prominent roles of Moloy Basu, Mohini Basu, Rajesh Sharma, Veena Sharma, Nivedita Basu and Anupam Sengupta. In October 2018, Hina Khan was introduced as Komolika Chaubey.[8]

In June 2019, Karan Singh Grover was introduced as Rishabh Bajaj.[9] In May 2019, Hina Khan took a break from the series for a few months.[10][11] However, in September 2019, Khan confirmed quiting the show and was replaced by Aamna Sharif as Komolika Chaubey in October 2019.[12]

In January 2020, Namik Paul joined the cast as Viraj Bhardwaj.[13] In March 2020, Karan Singh Grover returned as Rishabh Bajaj.[14] Post his return, the series took an eight year leap and introduced new additions.[15]

Filming

Kasautii is mainly filmed in Mumbai but a few scenes were shot in Kolkata as the show's storyline is based in West Bengal.[16] The Switzerland track was shot in Zurich.[17]

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!"[18]

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."[19]

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."[20]

Adaptations

Kasautii is adapted in Kannada as Premaloka.[21] Starring Vijay Suriya and Ankita Navya Gowda as Surya and Prerna, it airs on Star Suvarna.[22]
