There were reports that Yeh Rishta Kya Khelta Hai actress Hina Khan might play Komolika, though there has been no confirmation from her side. Bigg Boss 11 winner Shilpa Shinde, who had been seen to be at loggerheads with Hina since Day One at Bigg Boss house, responded to the speculation.
“Wasn’t she the Komolika of Bigg Boss 11 already?” Shilpa said while speaking to The Times of India.
She added, “Well, she is a good actress and playing a negative role shouldn’t be difficult for her. So yes she will essay the role well. The comedy was difficult for her but otherwise, she is good.”
