Is Ayesha Jhulka the new Kkusum?
The buzz on the sets of Kkusum is that former filmstar and current theatre artiste Ayesha Jhulka is the new face of Kkusum. The grapevine is abuzz with rumours that the channel and production house are currently working on her look and hairstyle.

Ayesha was last seen playing sister to Abhishek Bachchan in a film titled Run which itself did not have a great box office run.
Why Ayesha for Kkusum? Firstly, because she can't play a heroine any more on the big screen. Secondly, good money would be involved as it is a daily soap and a title role to boot. Ayesha has done some television episodes on Zee's Kabhi Kabhie.
The question is, will Ayesha be a meet mate for the suave but definitely younger looking Anuj Saxena, who himself is shortly going to be seen on the big screen in Lips.
Has Ayesha shed all the weight she had gained post marriage? Manasi Joshi Roy, who makes her exit soon (her last shoot is on 10 April) might be saying that she will be brought back, but is there any guarantee at all in television serials these days?
Moreover, viewers have not forgotten that Mahi, played by Poonam Narula, (who took a maternity break from the show) too has to be brought back into the show. After all, Kali's mom has to be brought back sooner or later into the plot by the makers.
From what we hear, chaos currently rules the Kkusum sets, with most of the cast and crew clueless about where the story is headed. The buzz is that if not Ayesha, it will be another prominent film actress, as that will help the show to counter Vinta Nanda's Miilee on Star Plus. The decision on who's to be the new Kkusum will be taken only after Ekta Kapoor returns from Malaysia with the Kasautii... team.
That's crucial, because it is the new Kkusum who will go to Malaysia with Abhay, Taashu and a few lead characters in April!
