The countdown to welcome the new season of Kasautii Zindagi Kay has begun and fans can't contain their excitement as they are eager to see their favourite stars Erica Fernandes and Parth Samthaan reprising the iconic roles of Prerna (played by Shweta Tiwari) and Anurag Basu (essayed by Cezanne Khan). With just 8 days to go for its premiere episode, Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 has been building a curiosity that is only growing with each passing day. While Ekta introduced us to the romantic pair Parth and Erica, who will play the character of Anurag and Prerna Basu respectively, the Producer is yet to unveil her Komolika. However, buzz is that Bigg Boss fame Hina Khan will step into the shoes of Urvashi Dholakia.

Just a while ago, Star Plus' Twitter handle shared a bullet (video) as a reminder to all the fans that the show is all set to hit the small screen on September 25. The tweet read, "It's the start of a beautiful love story. #KasautiiZindagiiKay, Starts 25th September at 8pm only on StarPlus. @IamEJF @LaghateParth"  We all know the classic love story of Anurag and Prerna, yet the excitement levels among fans are rocket high.

Recently, Ekta, at a press meet, revealed the secret behind the character names, Anurag and Prerna. Ekta said, she named the male lead as Anurag Basu after her friend (filmmaker) Anurag Basu. But the inspiration behind Prerna's name had always been a mystery. Revealing it, Ekta added, "Sharman Joshi’s wife’s name is Prerna. She is the daughter of my dad’s close friend Prem Chopra. We were having a tough time trying to finalise the perfect name opposite Anurag. That’s when a colleague suggested Prem ji’s daughter Prerna. And I instantly knew I have the perfect name." Ekta also said, "Anurag means love and Prerna means inspiration. Given the storyline, I think it’s the best names we could get." Watch this space for further updates.
