Kasautii Zindagii Kay at 25: Sejan Khan Reflects on Iconic Show

Mumbai, October 29: Television serial 'Kasautii Zindagii Kay' has completed 25 years, and actor Sejan Khan has reflected on the show that defined a generation of viewers. Through a special social media post, he brought back memories of his time on the sets.

The actor shared pictures of himself with Shweta Tiwari, who played Prerna Sharma opposite him as Anurag Basu. He also posted a collage of different scenes from the original series, highlighting the moments that made the show memorable.

Sejan's caption read, "It's a silver jubilee. Happy 25 years to the TV show 'Kasautii Zindagii Kay'."

The post did not include a tag for Shweta Tiwari, who was the show's lead heroine. Reports say the two had a strained relationship off-screen during the serial's run. In earlier interviews, both actors had spoken about their differences and a period when they stopped communicating. Even so, they kept working together professionally.

The show was broadcast on Star Plus from 2001 to 2008. Produced by Ekta Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor for Balaji Telefilms, it became one of the most successful daily soaps on Indian television and ran for seven years.

The narrative focused on the romance between Prerna Sharma and Anurag Basu, a bond that kept audiences hooked. Among the show's most recognisable visual elements was Prerna's dupatta, dramatically showcased during the couple's romantic and emotional moments. It came to represent their love story.

Later, actor Ronit Roy joined the cast as Rishabh Bajaj. The series also introduced audiences to Komolica, one of Indian television's most iconic villains, played by Urvashi Dholakia. The title track of the show remains popular among fans, even two decades on.
