Kumkum Bhagya

Kundali Bhagya (transl. The fate of our stars)[1] is an Indian romantic drama television series that premiered 12 July 2017 on Zee TV. Produced by Ekta Kapoor's Balaji Telefilms, it is a spin-off series of Kumkum Bhagya and stars Dheeraj Dhoopar, Shraddha Arya and Manit Joura. It had the largest weekday Hindi fiction launch across all GECs in 2017.[2]

Plot

Preeta meets the Luthra family when she becomes the physiotherapist to their matriach whose younger grandson Karan shares a cordial relation with Preeta while elder grandson Rishabh shares a conflicting relation with her and slowly starts developing feelings for her. Rishabh is not convinced with the idea of marriage.

When Preeta convinces Rishabh, he agrees to marry Sherlyn Khurana in an apparent misunderstanding, assuming it to be Preeta. Sherlyn realises Rishabh's affections and vows to get Preeta out of her life. After Rishabh and Sherlyn get engaged, Preeta realises Sherlyn isn't the girl everyone thinks. She finds out Sherlyn has a boyfriend and confieds her doubts to Karan.

At first, Karan belittles and calls Preeta gold digger, but because the matter is in regards to Rishabh, he checks for evidence himself and is convinced of Sherlyn's affair. Karan and Preeta join forces in there mission to save Rishabh from Sherlyn and their alliance slowly blossoms into friendship.

Preeta's engagement gets fixed with Sherlyn's boyfriend Prithvi Malhotra. Karan and Rishabh are both uneasy with Prithvi and soon realises that he isn't right for her. Karan and Preeta try innumerable times to get evidence against Sherlyn furthermore. He and Rishabh try to convince Preeta and her family about Prithvi.

However, despite all the efforts by Preeta at Rishabh and Sherlyn's wedding to actually stop it from happening, Rishabh and Sherlyn get married. Karan had vowed that the matter would get personal and would take his revenge personally if Rishabh's life was ruined by Preeta. He fulfils his end of the bargain. He humiliatingly drags Preeta out of the Luthra house after Rishabh's wedding.

At Preeta's wedding day with Prithvi, Karan does a groom swap and marries her without her knowledge. He convinces her and her entire family that his reason for marrying Preeta was love. It is revealed Karan married Preeto just for taking revenge as he believes Preeta betrayed him by joining hands with Sherlyn. He leaves Preeta after the wedding.

As per current track, Karan has shown a more sympathetic and supportive side to Preeta and family, but despite being married to her, he has gotten engaged to Mahira Khanna and neither apologised to Preeta nor made any attempts to stop his own second wedding.

Development

Talking about introducing a spinoff of a popular show on a primetime Deepak Rajadhyaksha, Deputy Business Head of Zee TV, says, "Zee TV has always strived to experiment with formats and bring its viewers unique and fresh content. After the success of Kasamh Se, Pavitra Rishta, Jodha Akhbar, Kumkum Bhagya and Brahmarakshas, we are extremely happy to associate yet again with Ekta Kapoor’s Balaji Telefilms to bring an innovative narrative Kundali Bhagya. It introduces a new set of characters in an all-new world and will replace our hit primetime show, Ek Tha Raja Ek Thi Rani, which was not only a strong differentiator but met with an overwhelming response and has had a glorious run of two years."[4]

On this, Kapoor said, "Over the last two decades, Balaji Telefilms in collaboration with Zee TV has created some great content. With our new show, Kundali Bhagya, we present a first-of-its-kind concept, an all-new interesting and engrossing show that emerges from the sub-plots of an already existing show. We will introduce Pragya’s sisters Preeta and Shrishti and the Luthra brothers Karan and Rishabh. We’re hopeful that the audience will fall in love with each of these endearing characters as we have gone through hundreds of auditions before locking the impressive young talent. The writing for this show is extremely strong in terms of characterisation and the engaging screenplay should leave audiences hooked at the end of every episode."[4]
