Actor Hina Khan, who was last seen in the controversial reality TV show Bigg Boss 11, is reportedly being eyed to essay the role of Kamolika in Ekta Kapoor’s rebooted version of Kasautii Zindagii Kay.

Hina’s last stint on the small screen, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, as the lead actor fetched her numerous awards and now the latest buzz is that the actor will be playing the role of a vamp in Ekta Kapoor’s upcoming show.

Going by the rumours, Hina Khan has been approached to play the role of Kamolika, which was originally played Urvashi Dholakia (another Bigg Boss contestant and winner). However, the makers of the show have not yet given their official word on who will be playing the role of the antagonist in the show.

On July 13, Kapoor tweeted a couple of random tweets about the character and surprisingly also mentioned what she is looking for in an actor to play the role of Kamolika in the remake.

So d actor will have to look v innocent ! Child like face n unbelievably sharp hoping to give this antagonist a complete reboot!

While rumours strongly suggest that Hina will be part of the show, the only actor to bag a role in the remake is Erica Fernandez who will be essaying the lead role of Prerna which was earlier played by actor Shweta Tiwari.

Actors like Angad Bedi, Mohit Raina and Shaheer Sheikh are also being considered for pivotal characters in the show. Let’s see who goes home happy when the official word regarding the show’s cast is announced.

Kasautii Zindagii Kay was one of the longest running shows in the history of Indian television and became a primetime show on Starplus owing to its wide viewership.
