The return of Ekta Kapoor's cult show Kasautii Zindagii Kay has taken the internet by storm. From speculations about the cast to several memes around  the show, Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 (KZK 2) has been building a curiosity that is only growing with each passing day. Ever since the makers have dropped the promos (which features the new age Prerna and Anurag Basu) online, fans have not been not able to control their excitement. Reportedly, Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi actress Erica Fernandes has bagged the iconic role of Prerna (played by Shweta Tiwari in the original version) while Parth Samthaan will step into the shoes of Cezanne Khan aka the original Anurag Basu.

Apart from Parth-Erica, Hina Khan, Sahil Anand, Sumona Chakravarti, Shubhavi Choksey, Uday Tikekar, Kali Prasad Mukherjee and Kanupriya Pandit will also be an integral part of the show. will be stepping into the shoes of Komolika, Anupam, Nivedita, Mohini, Moloy Basu, Rajesh Sharma and Veena respectively.

Well, we are happy with Ekta's choice of having Parth and Erica play the lead in the reboot version of KZK 2, but if LatestLY were to cast Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2, we would like to see the following actors play the role of Anurag Basu, Prerna, Komolika, Sneha Basu, Moloy Basu and Mr Bajaj.

Drashti Dhami as Prerna

Drashti Dhami, who rose to prominence after her super hit show Madhubala, is one of the sweetest and chirpy actresses in the industry.  The actress, who was last seen in Pardes Mein Hai Mera Dil alongside Arjun Bijlani, has the grace, poise, and elegance to play any and every role with ease. Drashti could have easily done a better job if she had to play Prerna. What do you think?

Shaheer Sheikh as Anurag Basu

Don't you think Shaheer Sheikh could have reprised the character of Anurag Basu in Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 remake, originally played by Cezanne Khan. After watching him essay the character Dev Dixit in Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi, we can be sure he is the perfect fit to play Anurag in Ekta's show. While one might wonder if Drashti and Shaheer could make a good great jodi on screen, I have to say this, let's leave that on Ekta Kapoor because the producer is pretty good at bringing crackling chemistry between her main leads.

Karishma Tanna as Komolika

Komolika is an iconic role; I still remember the character Komolika was hated as much as one loved it. Karishma Tanna, who garnered huge popularity after her stint in Salman Khan's Bigg Boss a few years ago, is the perfect vamp. She earned the name in the Bigg Boss (8) house and no one else other than Karishma could be the best fit for Komolika's role. Also, Karishma is a beautiful and talented actress and I can't imagine anyone else, who could pull off (Komolika's) that attitude better than Karishma Tanna.

Barun Sobti as Mr Bajaj

Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon fame Barun Sobti is perfect for the role, isn't he? Ithink that Barun has all the right traits for this role and probably one of the only actors we can see who fits in Ronit's shoes.

Darshan Jariwala as Moloy Basu

When I thought of Moloy Basu, the first actor came to my mind was Darshan Jariwala. I feel, Darshan, who has played so many varied characters, is the only person who could do justice to Moloy's character in KZK remake. While we have seen Darshan in versatile characteristics like playing the role of a father, a police inspector, a commissioner and so on, the actor has done justice to all the characters he has ever been offered. The best part about Darshan is that he gets in the skin of the character and watch him act on the small/ big screens is a visual treat.

So, how did you like these options? Let us know in the comment section below, if you have anyone else in your mind, who could play these iconic characters better.

The cast of Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 has begun shooting in Mumbai and Kolkata already and the leaked pictures from the sets are going viral. Speaking of the new promos, after Ekta released the promos, she made all of us fall for the idea of love yet again and we can't to watch it. Watch this space for further updates.
