Hina Khan has been one of the most talked about celebs a few months ago, courtesy- her stint in Bigg Boss 11. Known as 'Akshara' from 'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai', she shed off her 'typical bahu' avatar through Rohit Shetty's Khatron Ke Khiladi first and Salman Khan's Bigg Boss later. This has now made her one of the most sought after actresses in the television space. Rumors are rife that she will be next seen in Ekta Kapoor's Kasautii Zindagii Kay Reboot as Komolika. According to the latest reports, she will be the highest paid actress in this show.
A source told spotboye.com, "Hina Khan will be charging Rs 2.25 lakh per episode, which is huge in the telly world. She is coming back to the small screen post the success of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai and Bigg Boss 11, hence the makers agreed to pay the sum."
Komolika played by Urvashi Dholakia originally, turned out to be the ultimate vamp in the world of television serials a decade ago. With her signature long shiny bindis and signature tune, she became a household name. Hina too will have her own statement style but it will be earrings and not bindi. The actress is said to sport variety of earrings of different shapes and colours that will make her character stand out and also not make it seem repetitive.
Speaking of the show, the roles of on screen love birds Prerna (Shweta Tiwari) and Anurag ( Cezzane Khan) will be reprised by Erica Fernandes and Parth Samthaan respectively. While Erica became popular with her previous serial 'Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi', Parth was everyone's favourite as 'Manik' in 'Kaisi Hai Yaariyan'.
