Gaurav Chopra in talks to play Mr Bajaj in Kasautii Zindagii Kay

If reports are to be believed, Balaji Telefilms is gearing up to resume production on three of their most popular television shows – Kasautii Zindagii Kay, Kumkum Bhagya and Naagin 4 – in a couple of days, after all shooting activities came to a grinding halt in March due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic.

If we talk about Kasautii Zindagii Kay in particular, buzz has it that the show is in for a casting overhaul. Actor Karan Singh Grover, who plays the character of Mr Bajaj on the show, will not be returning to reprise his character after the makers roll the camera post-lockdown with strict COVID-19 protocols in place as mandated by the state government.


Reportedly, Grover has quit the show and the makers have approached well-known television actor Gaurav Chopra to replace him. Yes, you read that right! Chopra is currently in talks with the makers and he is expected to sign the show on the dotted line soon.

According to reports, Grover expressed his desire to leave Kasautii Zindagii Kay and thus the role has been offered to Chopra. Chopra was last seen on Star Plus’ medical drama series Sanjivani. Talking to an online publication, Chopra said, “I cannot comment right now as things are still under discussion. Let things come from Balaji Telefilms. Then, me giving out a statement will make sense.”

Kasautii Zindagi Kay, which features Erica Fernandes and Parth Samthan as the lead pair, is one of the top-rated shows on Indian television. It is a reboot of the 2001 series of the same name, which also was produced by Ekta Kapoor under her production house, Balaji Telefilms, for Star Plus.

Suchitra Krishnamoorthi apologises after calling Ahmedabad plane crash survivor a ‘liar’

Actor and singer Suchitra Krishnamoorthi has issued a public apology after facing strong criticism on social media for questioning the survival story of Vishwas Kumar Ramesh, the sole survivor of the recent Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad.

Deleted post sparks backlash

The controversy began when Krishnamoorthi, known for her role in Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, shared a now-deleted post on X (formerly Twitter) alleging that Vishwas Kumar Ramesh had fabricated his account of surviving the 12 June crash. In her post, she wrote:
“So this #vishwaskumarramesh lied about being a passenger on the plane & the only survivor? This is seriously weird. Didn't his family in the UK corroborate his story? What about his brother's funeral that he was seen giving kandha to? Deserve not only some serious punishment but some mental asylum time if this is true uff.”
