| Starting this Thursday, Ekta Kapoor's pet project, Kavyanjali, is set for a one-year leap. The show will also have a new creative team.
Says Sandiip Sikcand, the new creative on the show, "Kavya (Eijaz Khan) is dead and will not come back. No reincarnations, no plastic surgery.
We will now show Anjali (Anita) as a strong, independent woman. We are getting close to reality. Don't women go single due to the unpredictability of life?"
Moving on
Nivedita Basu of Balaji explains why the show is leaping only a year ahead.
"We wanted to avoid the display of rona-dhona. Once we started the track of Anjali weeping over Kavya's death, we wouldn't have been able to pull it out quickly. So, in Wednesday's episode, Anjali will declare that she will take care of the business and her kid and not cry.
She will wipe off her tears and move on. From Thursday, you will see that the family has moved on."
Nitya shattered
Will all the characters have erased Kavya out from their memory?
"Definitely not. Anjali will certainly remember him, but only at times, and we will use flashback scenes for that." The only character who will not be able to recover from Kavya's death is his mother Nitya, played by Amrita Singh.
"Amrita will be in a daze even after one year. She would not have recovered from the shock. She will be virtually numb. There is a big transformation happening in her character.
She will feel very guilty that she could not make up with her son before he died. She will not be able to rest, because she is shocked that Kavya could be so nice to her, despite knowing that she was responsible for the mess in his life."
What happens to Shaurya (Iqbal Khan)? Is there a romantic development between Anjali and Shaurya in the fast-forward version?
Says Sikcand, "Shaurya will very much be around. Anjali and he will become thick friends. But we haven't yet thought about the love angle." Adds Nivedita, "Shaurya will help Anjali put the business in place."
What else happens in the forward version? "Arav (Abhir Goswami) will
turn out to be Shaurya's brother. The two of them have been in the serial even now, but they have not come aamne-samne yet," reveals Nivedita. |
