Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 is doing extremely well on the television arena and often climbs the TRP chart's ladder. The show has Parth Samthaan and Erica Fernandes essaying the lead characters of Anurag Basu and Prerna Sharma. Apart from them, another pivotal character of this reboot is its antagonist, Komolika, which has become an iconic one.

Television's bahu, Akshara from Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai was taken onboard to play Komolika's character. After playing the character for some time, she quit the show to fulfil prior film commitments. However, now a report in Pinkvilla states that actress-dancer Gauahar Khan is in talks to play this character with grey shades.
