| Noon-time crossover: Neha Devi Singh, Juhi Parmar and Dolly Sohi in Kumkum | In a crossover of characters from different soaps, Star Plus's afternoon drama, Kumkum — Ek Pyara Sa Bandhan, will have the main protagonist, Kumkum (Juhi Parmar), hosting a bash in which Rudr (Nikhil Arya) and Kesar (Nandini Singh) from Kesar, Arjun (Karan Grover) and Bhoomika (Neha Devi Singh) from Saarthi; and Saroj (Dolly Sohi), Tilak (Manish Goyal), Suhana (Rucha Gujarati) and Vishwa (Puneet Sachdev) from Bhabhi, will be the star guests.
This one-hour special episode will air at 1 pm on Thursday, December 1. Sumeet's multi-crore deal
"There's a highpoint unfolding in Kumkum," says producer Anuradha Prasad, of BAG Films. "The bash is to celebrate Kumkum's hubby, Sumeet (Hussain), striking a mega business deal worth Rs 5,000 crore. All these characters from the other shows are invited to the Waddhwa house to celebrate his success," she adds.
Song and dance
The screen couples are also expected to regale the audience with songs and dances. Rudr and Kesar will perform to the Ban Than Chali Re track (from the film Kurukshetra), while Arjun, Bhoomi, Saroj and Tilak (his Nach Baliye experience should definitely help his team!) dance to a medley of popular Bollywood chartbusters.

The turning point in the Kumkum drama will be the entry of Karan Kapoor (Anuj Saxena) at the bash. "Sumeet has struck a deal with Karan for this venture. This deal is extremely important, as for Sumeet, it is the fulfillment of his late brother, Jatin's, dreams," informs Prasad about the drama that will unfold.
However, Sumeet and Kumkum are unaware that Karan is Jatin's lookalike. The episode ends with Karan and Kumkum coming face-to face for the first time. Kumkum's joy is short-lived — Jatin was her first husband!
Yet another fresh dilemma for Kumkum has just begun. Incidentally, Saxena earlier played the role of Jatin in the show |
