Kasautii Zindagii Kay: Ekta Kapoor is in search for Mr. Bajaj; here’s who all we think can fit into Ronit Roy’s shoes

Ekta Kapoor has launched her search to cast the new Mr. Bajaj in Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2. After Hina Khan aka Komolika’s exit, the show will see a dramatic entry of the much iconic character Mr. Bajaj. The character was played by Ronit Roy earlier and now, the makers haven’t zeroed in on a name yet. We, however have a list of names, we think would perfectly fit in the reprised version.

This name had to be on top. His elder brother played the role of Mr. Bajaj. We wouldn’t be surprised if Rohit plays the role of Ronit. Last seen in Shakti, Rohit can equally play the brooding character and at the same time romance Erica’s Prerna. Photo: Instagram

He was the poster boy in Kkutumb and Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. He has also played older character roles like in Pavitra Rishta. The salt and pepper look of Mr. Bajaj would really look good on him. Photo: Instagram

Rahil Azam played one of the most terrifying and ruthless villain in Tu Aashiqui. He has got the looks to portray the sharp businessman, who eventually has a change of heart and falls in love with the lead character. Photo: Instagram

We would love to see Rajeev Khandelwal back on the television screens. Girls went gaga over him after Kahiin To Hoga. While the actor is currently dabbing as a talk show host, Rajeev’s presence will spice up the show. Photo: Instagram

After spending over 16 years in the television industry, Ejaz has played numerous roles. From a lover boy in Kkavyanjali to an ATS Officer in CID, Ejaz has done it all. He has been in several Ekta Kapoor shows and he can’t be ignored if we had to take his name in the list. Photo: Instagram

Romantic hero to a mythological character to a supernatural thriller, Gautam Rode has flawlessly slipped into any given roles. If Mr. Bajaj’s iconic role falls in his lap, we are sure he will do justice to the role. Photo: Instagram

He played the shrewd businessman-turn-lover boy – Armaan Suri in Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahi. And in Bepannaah, he was the perfect antagonist to Harshad Chopra and Jennifer Winget. He can effortlessly play the third angle in Kasautii Zindagii Kay. Photo: Instagram

Kushal has an intimidating personality and that might work in his favour if he is selected to play the iconic character. He will come across as a strong ‘takkar’ to Parth Samthaan’s Anurag. Photo: Instagram

He is long lost from television after Dil Se Dil Tak. If chosen to play Mr. Bajaj, it will break the two-year long hiatus. His tall stature will add a charm to the character. Photo: Instagram
