And the search stops here! There were four big names from the TV industry making rounds for the past few days, ever since Ekta Kapoor teased about the entry of Mr. Bajaj in 'Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2'. The original role was played by Ronit Bose Roy and the audience eagerly waited to see who steps into his shoes next, for Erica Fernandes, Parth Samthaan and Hina Khan's reboot version of KZK. The six male actors from the small screen were in the race for the role of Mr. Bajaj which included Samir Kochhar, Eijaz Khan, Iqbal Khan, Karan Wahi, Siddharth Shukla and Hiten Tejwani. And the actor who is handed the opportunity to finally portray Mr. Rishabh Bajaj in 'KZK 2' is reportedly Karan Wahi.

We also revealed recently that the exit of Komolika aka Hina Khan from the show will mark the entry of Mr. Bajaj in Prerna's(Erica) life. Komolika would plot her own murder and Anurag Basu(Parth) will be blamed for it ending up into his arrest by police. And while Anurag is away, Mr. Bajaj gets to enter Prerna's life.
