However, the actress revealed that she hadn't even been approached for the said role. And now, actress Jasmin Bhasin reveals, "I don't know where these rumours are coming from.

And the actress has her reasons. She says, "No doubt Komolika is an iconic character and enjoys a lot of popularity among fans, but I am not interested in stepping into someone else's shoes and I have a genuine reason for it. While actors being replaced is a part and parcel of our industry, but I am already in talks with the makers of some new shows and would want to focus on that."
"Also, I would love to do a character which I can live completely, without being judged. Komolika is a character that has already been portrayed by another actress, and it won’t give me the creative satisfaction I am looking for. So there is no question of me playing Komolika," said Bhasin. After Quitting Dil Toh Happy Hai Ji, Jasmin Bhasin Is Vacationing in Amsterdam and Her Pics Are Absolute Love
However, the actress has no qualms about playing a negative role. "Being an actor, I have no issues with a character being negative or positive as long as the role is substantial and meaty. If the story revolves around my character, even if it is negative, I have no problem in essaying it,” she says. After Jasmin's name came up, soon followed news of actresses Gauahar Khan and Karishma Tanna having given look tests for show. However, neither of the actresses have confirmed or denied the news.
