Kitani Mohabbat Hai to have a sequel?

Karan Kundra and Kritika Kamra have today become big names in the television industry, courtesy the enormous fan following that they were bestowed with, for essaying the very cute love birds Arjun and Arohi in Imagine and Balaji Telefilms' Kitani Mohabbat Hai.

Karan and Kritika were a hit as a Jodi ever since the inception of the show, and went on to have a hug fan base. But the loyal viewers of the show got a jolt when Kitani Mohabbat Hai was given an abrupt end by the channel in September last year.

This actually brought huge uproar, and the fans started sending petitions to the channel demanding a sequel of the show.

According to our source, "The extremely angry fans flooded the email inboxes of Imagine and its executives and demanded an explanation for the abrupt end, and also requested for the return of the show. In fact, during the course of one weekend alone, over 6400 fans signed a petition urging the channel to bring back their favorite show. We have now got into the New Year, but this does not stop the fans from continuing with their petitions and requests. All this has made the channel to think seriously, and it now looks as though the channel has understood the huge potential that Kitani Mohabbat Hai has when it comes to the fan following".

The latest news on this front is that talks are certainly on between the channel and production house for a sequel.

A little birdie tells us, "The continuous outburst of fans has in fact forced the channel to work on the sequel. Talks are certainly on, and the channel and production house have taken it ahead. Though the plans are still on paper, it seems as though there are bright chances of the sequel coming up. The production house has started to work on the script, but is tight-lipped at the moment. The channel and production house do realize that if at all they are bringing back the love story of Arjun and Arohi, the script this time has to be bigger and better. If all goes well, Karan Kundra and Kritika Kamra will continue to be the lead pair in the sequel, while the production house might go on a look out for fresh cast for the other characters".

If our sources are to be believed, things will be very clear by mid May or June. It is also heard that the abrupt ending given to Sony's Pyaar Ka Bandhan which had Kritika Kamra in it, is proof enough that the planning for the sequel is certainly on.

When contacted, Kritika Kamra told us, "Yes, I have also heard that talks are on for a sequel of Kitani Mohabbat Hai. But I have not been approached so far for it".

Karan Kundra too echoed the same and said, "Though I have not been directly approached, I have heard that talks are on for the same between the production house and channel. But nothing is clear as of now".

We sent a text message to Shailja Kejriwal, EVP Content, Imagine but we did not get a response from her.

We also sent a text message to Ekta Kapoor but did not get any revert.

Guess it will be a huge moral victory for the loyal fans of the show, if they do see their favorite show coming back….
