'Kumkum Bhagya' goes back in time

While TV shows all around are going in for time leaps, 'Kumkum Bhagya' is actually turning the clock back. Going back in time by three years, all the characters in the show will look and behave the way they did when the show was launched.

Sriti Jha

will be seen playing her original geeky self and Shabbir Ahluwalia, the snooty rockstar. Leena Jumani, who replaced Madhurima Tuli to play the new Tanu, will be seen as a model. It would be interesting to see what happens to

Nikkhil Arya

, the antagonist, whose track over the last few weeks has been raking in high ratings. Leena says “I am very excited with the twists lined up. Abhi's (Shabbir) accident results in partial amnesia wherein he can only recollect things in his life back where he hadn’t even met Pragya (Sriti), let alone fall in love with her. He remembers himself to be the rockstar dating his girlfriend, Tanu. My character was a supermodel while Pragya will once again be seen in her bespectacled geeky look and is out of Abhi’s life as she is held responsible for the attack on him. So, in a way, it is a most unusual plot rewind where television shows mostly go for leaps. It’s interesting that

'Kumkum Bhagya'

is one show that has not had any leap but now, goes onto create a unique, one-of-its-kind plot rewind.”
