Hina Khan won hearts with her portrayal of stylish vamp 'Komolika' in Ekta Kapoor's 'Kasautii Zindagii Kay' co-starring Parth Samthaan and Erica Fernandes in lead roles of 'Anurag' and 'Prerna' respectively. The actress quit the Star Plus show earlier this year to focus on films. The latest buzz suggests that 'Komolika' will soon re-enter 'Kasautii Zindagii Kay' however Hina Khan is not returning as she's busy shooting for Vikram Bhatt's 'Hacked'. Hence, the makers are looking for a replacement and two popular names are reportedly in contention for the role.

Few days ago, various reports claimed Jasmin Bhasin is in final talks to replace Hina Khan as 'Komolika'. However, she later dismissed the same. Now, it'll be interesting to see if one among Gauahar or Karishma will finally bag the role or the makers have someone else in mind.

As per the latest track of 'Kasautii...', Prerna (Erica) is now married to Mr. Bajaj (Karan) and their love story will soon begin in the much-loved Star Plus show. Whereas, Anurag (Parth) is not ready to give up on Prerna and is trying to separate her and Mr. Bajaj.
