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, Hina Khan and Karan Singh Grover as Anurag Basu, Prerna Sharma, Komolika Chaubey and Rishabh Bajaj.
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.
Anurag and Prerna study in the same university yet never talk to each other. With time, Prerna and Anurag start conversing and slowly form a bond of strong friendship. As time goes by, Prerna realises that she has fallen in love with Anurag.
Soon, Komolika makes her entry. She is arrogant and attracts male attention wherever she goes, constantly misusing her dad's political power to get what she wants. Meanwhile, Anupam makes Anurag realise his love for Prerna. On the other hand, Komolika starts getting interested in Anurag. Eventually, Anurag and Prerna confess their feelings to each other. They perform a marriage ritual, promising to marry each other and consummate their relationship.
Seeing Prerna and Anurag plan a future together, Komolika decides to create misunderstandings between them. When Moloy finds out about it, he confronts her. Thus, Komolika plots to get Moloy killed in a car crash. However, Moloy slips into a coma and Rajesh dies. Komolika asks Anurag to marry her in exchange of the papers of Prerna's house. Compelled, Anurag announces his engagement to Komolika. Prerna is left shocked and betrayed. She gets hit by a car and is taken to the hospital where the doctor reveals that she is pregnant.
Rebellious, Prerna enters the Basu house claiming to be Anurag's wife. Soon, Moloy recovers from coma. Prerna successfully exposes all of Komolika's crimes and gets her arrested. Komolika escapes and comes back to kill Prerna but instead falls down from the terrace and goes missing. Prerna and Anurag reunite and get engaged.
Meanwhile, Rishabh Bajaj, a ruthless businessman makes an entry. He enjoys destroying and taking over businesses, his next target being Basu Publications. He falsely frames Anurag and gets him jailed. Further, Bajaj asks Prerna to marry him in exchange of Anurag's freedom.

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!"[9]
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."[10]
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."[11]
