Actors exiting shows, only to make a comeback later has become a regular feature in serials. From Smriti Irani's comeback (after her pregnancy) in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi to Saakshi Tanwar's re-entry in Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki and Amar Upadhayay a.k.a Mihir Virani's in Kyunki..., it is now time for Eijaz Khan to come back to Kavyanjali. However, he will play a completely new character, and not Kavya, the character he initially played.
Even if Khan's character was bumped off a couple of weeks ago, the actor occasionally shot for flashback scenes. But by and large, his role had come to an end.
So brought about Kavya's resurrection? "Eijaz is coming back to the show. We planned this a long time ago, even before his character died," says Ekta Kapoor. "Now that Anjali has consented to marry Shaurya, we needed a twist. It's a daily show and I've to keep the show and the public interest going. He'll play a foreign-returned business tycoon, who comes to India."
What are Khan's sentiments about returning back to the show? "I've been extremely busy with Kya Hoga Nimmo Ka," he says. "In fact, we are leaving for Malaysia tonight. As of now, Ekta hasn't mentioned this comeback to me. I have to admit that I did get a whiff of some kind of return, but was unsure about it. I'm working for Balaji, what show I shoot for doesn't matter. I'll start shooting for Kavyanjali when Ekta wants me to. I'm at Ekta's disposal."
How different will the new character be? "If Ekta has something definite chalked out in her mind, I'll go with it. I'll make sure that I give my best to the role," he says.
