Serial killings

There's never a dearth of examples when it comes to people coming back from the dead on small screen. Right from Mihir, Bajaj, Tulsi, to now Om and Kumkum, the list is increasing by the day. While some have been victims of production house fallouts, others succumbed to falling TRPs. Gauri Kohli gives you some instances of characters being bumped off and brought back again

Juhi Parmar

Kumkum aka Juhi Parmar has steered ahead of her other afternoon contemporaries. Just when all seemed to be finally well with Kumkum and husband Sumit, she succumbed to nature's fury and falling ratings but has now bounced back, this time again as a village girl in Mathura. Krishna, her new role, is similar to the bubbly and naive villager she played last year. Till the time Juhi enjoys her new role, viewers will have to do without Kumkum for a while.

Smriti Irani

Tulsi Virani may have died several times on her show Kyunki, but Smriti Irani continues to live long in the hearts of the viewers. This righteous bahu, wife and mother left a deep impression with her acting prowess when she played the role for seven years. She stood for justice on every occasion, so what if she had to kill her rapist son or grant moksha to her dying mother-in-law. Shanti Niketan learnt to live without her but the Virani family and the TRPs wanted her back. So she is with a new face, that of Gautami Kapoor.

Ronit Roy

Ronit Roy is one of the few actors who has mastered the art of replacing himself, be it Kasauti or Kyunki. He became an instant hit as Rishabh Bajaj six years ago in Kasauti where he donned the garb of a shrewd businessman-cum-caring husband with elan. The first time his character was bumped off was a welcome change for the viewers who always wanted to see Anurag and Prerna together. But Bajaj climbed the popularity charts each time he made a comeback. Ditto for Mihir who has etched deep in popular mindset ever since he featured in Kyunkii.

Cezanne Khan

He's one sincere actor who stuck to just one show for six years. But recently, he decided to call it quits for reasons unknown. Some say it was another case of a fallout with Balaji while speculation was rife that he was tired of playing the same role. He chose to keep mum on the issue. But during his six-year stint as Anurag Basu, he transformed from a romantic hero to a jilted lover. He also didn't mind sporting gray hair and survived a series of generation leaps on the show until he was finally replaced by Hiten Tejwani.

Kiran Karmarkar

It seems Kiran Karmarkar's fans chanted Om several times to bring him back on Kahani. The actor made a comeback on the show after almost two years. The moment he was brought back, the buzz was whether he's Om or his lookalike. Two years ago, Ekta Kapoor took a tough decision to do away with his character in the Mumbai deluge. Kiran too, had other priorities then, he was working in Smriti Irani's Thodi Si Zameen. Then it was declared he was murdered. But all seems to be settled now.

It's true - Om's fans (incl. me) were forever bleating about his return 😆 😆 I guess that might have helped his & Ekta's decision 😳
