And finally Karan Singh Grover agrees to play Mr Bajaj!

After weeks of dilly-dallying, Karan Singh Grover has finally agreed to come onboard to play Mr Bajaj in Ekta Kapoor’s popular show, Kasautii Zindagii Kay, according to reports.

The actor, who began his career from television, was approached to play the iconic character a couple of weeks ago. However, he was in two minds about making his comeback to television after bidding it goodbye in 2013.


Now, it is confirmed that Karan Singh Grover has agreed to reprise the role played by the powerful performer Ronit Roy in the original show which first aired almost two decades ago.

“Things have eventually fallen in place for Karan and he is all set to fly to Switzerland to start his shoot for Kasautii Zindagii Kay,” a source close to the development reveals to an entertainment portal.

Kasautii Zindagii Kay is the reboot version of Ekta Kapoor’s hit show of the same name. The original show had Shweta Tiwari, Cezanne Khan, Urvashi Dholakia and Ronit Roy in lead roles, while the new version stars Parth Samthaan and Erica Fernandes as the lead pair.

Just like its predecessor, the latest version of the show has also struck the right chord with the audience. It is currently the most popular show on Star Plus.

  • Part of wider plan to fight violence against women and online harm.
  • Tech firms will be forced to block such content or face heavy Ofcom fines.
  • Experts say the ban responds to medical evidence and years of campaigning.

You see it everywhere now. In mainstream pornography, a man’s hands around a woman’s neck. It has become so common that for many, especially the young, it just seems like part of sex, a normal step. The UK government has decided it should not be, and soon, it will be a crime.

The plan is to make possessing or distributing pornographic material that shows sexual strangulation, often called ‘choking’, illegal. This is a specific amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill. Ministers are acting on the back of a stark, independent review. That report found this kind of violence is not just available online, but it is rampant. It has quietly, steadily, become normalised.
