==Plot==
Anurag Basu and Prerna Sharma are [[Soulmate|twin flames]] made for each other, yet forced to go through several trials of life to be together.

Set in [[Kolkata]], the story focuses on Anurag and Prerna who study in the same university. Fate keeps pulling them towards each other and as they get to know one another, they slowly form a bond of trust, understanding and friendship. Prerna starts falling for Anurag.

Komolika Chaubey is an arrogant, selfish, evil and [[narcissistic]] woman. While Anurag realizes his feelings for Prerna, Komolika starts getting obsessed with him. Anurag and Prerna confess their feelings, consummate their relationship, and plan to marry. Seeing them plan a future together, Komolika creates misunderstandings between them. She asks Anurag to marry her in order to save Prerna's house. Compelled and helpless, Anurag agrees. Unaware of the truth, Prerna is left shocked. Dazed, she gets hit by a car and is taken to the hospital, where she is revealed to be pregnant.

Hurt and rebellious, Prerna enters the Basu house, successfully exposes Komolika and gets her arrested. Komolika escapes prison and returns to kill Prerna, but falls down the terrace and goes missing. Anurag and Prerna happily reunite and get engaged.

Rishabh Bajaj is a successful, powerful and selfish businessman. He falsely frames Anurag and gets him jailed. Further, he asks Prerna to marry him in exchange for Anurag's freedom. Helpless, she agrees. Heartbroken, Anurag questions Prerna. She lies to him, hoping he moves on but Anurag remains adamant and refuses to give up on their love. Rishabh starts falling for Prerna. Aware of the fact that Prerna loves Anurag, Rishabh tries to kill him. When his daughter Kukki ends up getting hurt while trying to stop Rishabh, he steps back. Anurag and Prerna reunite again.

Vengeful, Komolika makes a comeback. Prerna reveals her pregnancy to Anurag and the two rejoice as they get ready to marry. Komolika causes Anurag's accident.

===1 month later===
Anurag loses his memory. Komolika fakes an identity and misuses the opportunity to make Anurag and the Basus believe that they got married. Prerna discovers Komolika's identity and decides to expose her but refrains in fear of affecting Anurag's memory. Komolika tries to kill Prerna and her child but fails every time.

Prerna gives birth to Sneha, Anurag regains his memory. Komolika threatens Anurag to frame Prerna for murder. She asks Anurag to pretend to push her off the bridge. Rishabh, who still has feelings for Prerna, recommends Anurag to follow the plan, hoping to keep the two away. When Anurag refuses, Komolika threatens life long jail for Prerna. Helpless, Anurag agrees and asks Rishabh to promise to save Prerna.

Anurag pushes Prerna off a bridge and is saved by Rishabh. Komolika then abandons Sneha in an orphanage and bribes a worker to burn it. Reeling from heartbreak and shock, Prerna reaches the orphanage and is devastated to see it on fire. Broken beyond belief, Prerna moves to London with Rishabh.

===8 years later===
Prerna thrives as a successful businesswoman in London while Anurag's business does well in Kolkata. Prerna maintains a formal relation with Rishabh, still detesting Anurag for his betrayal. Anurag hates Komolika and lives in constant guilt. Prerna leaves for Kolkata to avenge her daughter's death. Anurag and Prerna meet an orphan, and feel a powerful connection to her, unaware that she is Sneha.

Anurag breaks ties with Komolika, reveals the truth to Prerna and shows her the proofs. He explains how he tried to constantly contact her, but was isolated by Rishabh. The two reunite, reminiscing the time they lost, the pain they faced and get remarried. Enraged, Komolika stabs Prerna but ends up wounding Rishabh, when he tries to save Prerna. Rishabh stabs Komolika in return, and kills her. Before dying, Rishabh apologizes to Prerna and Anurag for being selfish and separating them and asks them to take care of Kuki.

===1 month later===
Anurag and Prerna live a happy life with their daughter Sneha in Kolkata.

{{blockquote|I had a few personality traits in mind for Anurag and Prerna. Anurag had to be the kind of man who doesn't scream to get noticed, but once you notice him, he's unforgettable. For me, Parth was an obvious choice because he has unbelievable eyes. I have not seen a man whose eyes reflect that depth even in photographs.

==Reception==
===Critical response===
Shweta Kesari from ''[[India Today]]'' said, "Parth Samthaan and Erica Fernandes beautifully fit into the shoes of punctual Anurag and carefree Prerna. The grandeur and magnificence of the show will make your jaw drop. The makers have tried to retain the essence of Kolkata and Bengalis. Overall the show is a complete package of entertainment for soap viewers!"<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/television/reviews/story/kasauti-zindagi-kay-2-review-parth-erica-shine-in-this-retelling-of-the-epic-love-saga-1349659-2018-09-26|title=Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 first episode review: Parth-Erica shine in this retelling of the epic love saga|website=India Today|language=en}}</ref>

Soumya Srivastava from ''[[Hindustan Times]]'' described the show as "louder and garnish" and said, "The background score is excessive. It plays without reason and way too often. Whether the scene demands it or not, a joyful, somber or a comical tone is always there to force your brain into thinking that this is how you are supposed to feel right now."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/tv/kasautii-zindagii-kay-2-episode-1-review-there-was-no-room-for-it-but-things-have-become-worse/story-rScd2GNV4DAmg8L1zdHCSP.html|title=Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 episode 1 review: There was no room for it but things have become worse|website=Hindustan Times|language=en}}</ref>

''[[Times Now]]'' commented that, "The reboot takes you in the lives of Anurag and Prerna that were part of our every day lives and the first episode is all about nostalgia of the epic [[Kasautii Zindagii Kay (2001 TV series)|Kasautii Zindagii Kay]]."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.timesnownews.com/videos/zoom/episode-updates/kasautii-zindagii-kay-2-or-kasauti-zindagi-ki-full-comparative-review-of-first-episode/10837|title=Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 Or Kasauti Zindagii Kay? Full Review|website=Times Now|language=en-GB}}</ref>

Priyanka Bansal from ''[[The Quint]]'' stated, "Both Erica Fernandes and Parth Samthaan are new and have huge shoes to fill. More often than not, Erica looks bored and still has a long way to go with her acting skills. The chemistry between Parth and Erica too seems to be lacking. When it comes to production values, it of course shows primarily in the sets. As OTT and royal as they come, they scream money from the rooftops."<ref>{{Cite web|title='Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2': What Makes the Reboot Hot (Or Not)?|url=https://www.thequint.com/entertainment/tv/kasautii-zindagii-kay-2-early-review-ekta-kapoor-comeback|website=[[The Quint]]|date=26 September 2018 }}</ref>

''[[The Times of India]]'' stated, "Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 has a cinematic appeal. The visuals and the sets are grand. The difference in the financial status of Anurag and Prerna is well brought-out through their homes and familial set-up. Even though the show moves at a swift pace, it is the long introduction of characters in the beginning that is bound to make you impatient. Erica and Parth look their part, yet there is more one wants to see out of them in the upcoming episodes. The first episode is a breezy watch and keeps you hooked."<ref>{{Cite web|title=Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 first episode review: Erica Fernandes and Parth Samthaan's show keeps you hooked|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tv/news/hindi/kasautii-zindagii-kay-2-first-episode-review-erica-fernandes-and-parth-samthaans-show-keeps-you-hooked/articleshow/65961005.cms|website=The Times of India|language=en}}</ref>

== Plot ==
{{plot|date=February 2022}} 
The movie starts with Ishana chasing a goon from Damodar Nautiyal's political party in Mussoorie. The goon gets badly beaten up, but Damodar refuses to file a complaint. Ishana is released from detention and his father, Daddy comes to pick him up. On their way home, Daddy advises Ishana to set up his multiplex outside of Mussoorie, but Ishana refuses. It is shown that he is reminiscing about a girl, Ramisa.

3 years ago, Ramisa came to Mussoorie from London to live with her father, Damodar, and her grandma. Damodar wins the election by 1000 votes. It is shown that Damodar and Daddy are good friends and the latter is celebrating outside of Damodar's house with Ishana and he catches Ramisa's eye. Later that night, Damodar, Daddy and Ishana are having dinner and the light goes out. Damodar tells Ishana to get Ramisa's grandmother from the house so that she doesn't slip. He instead takes Ramisa.

When everyone comes out for dinner, Ramisa and Ishana subtly start to flirt and continue that the next day. Lol is Ishana's friend who suspects that he is seeing someone and get the information out of him that he is going to see Ramisa. Soon they start seeing each other more often and share kisses. Daddy also start to suspect that Ishana is seeing someone. Ishana confesses that he is seeing Ramisa and is madly in love with her and that she is too. He urges Daddy to go to Damodar to talk about Ishana and Ramisa's marriage to which Daddy says that he will go when the time is right.

One night, Ramisa texts Ishana to come and get her at midnight. They both go to a closed cafe and have sex. When they reach Ramisa's house, Ishana asks Ramisa about them getting married. She tells him that she will talk to her father about this and kisses him goodnight. As she is leaving Damodar sees this. The next day, Ramisa doesn't call Ishana and he gets worried. Lol tells him to call Daddy and ask him to go to Ramisa's house to talk about the marriage.

After a while, Daddy calls Ishana and ask him to come to the hospital. Daddy reveals that he was in an accident and never got to go to Damodar's house. The next day Daddy sent Ishana to get some gravel for a temple that the former is building. There, Ishana gets a call from Lol that Ramisa is getting married. Ishana rushes back to Mussoorie, but the place where he was at had blasts happening and he rode his bike through the blasts.

When he reaches there, he sees Ramisa's grandmother who asks him how the decoration looks. Ishana breaks down and creates a scene. Damodar orders his men to take Ishana away so that he doesn't disrupt the wedding. He gets badly beaten up and is kept in a secluded area. In the meantime, Ramisa gets married to Anurag Mehta and is sent to London. By the time Ishana gets there, she is already gone.

Present day, Ishana tries to ruin Damodar's work and beats his men and he now is a very aggressive and self disruptive person. Lol, not able to see him in this condition, throws a party for his own birthday and urges Ishana to attend it. There he starts to dance with different girls and a car pulls up. It is shown that Ramisa is back from London to visit her father and she sees Ishana partying.

The next day, Lol happily tells Ishana that Ramisa is back. Ishana rushes to see her, but the police arrives and on Damodar's orders they take him away. While he is being taken away, Ishana screams that he'll meet Ramisa in the cafe, where they previously used to meet. Ishana is badly beaten up by the police and Daddy comes to take him. Ishana tells the latter that he has to go and meet Ramisa in the cafe, but she doesn't show. He goes to her house and they have an argument where she confesses that Ishana should move on. Damodar and Daddy interrupt them and Daddy slaps Ishana and takes him away. He tells Ishana that love is not taken by threatening someone and that Ramisa was scared by his behaviour. He locks Ishana in his room and forbids him from seeing Ramisa.

Outside the house, Lol asks Daddy why he is doing this to his son and Daddy confesses that the night he got into the accident, he went to Damodar's place. There he heard Ramisa telling her father and grandmother that she wants to marry Anurag as they both love each other. She reveals that they have been dating for the past two years and that he was a senior in her college and while going from there, Daddy got in the accident. Present day, Lol asks Daddy if he went to see Ramisa after that. Daddy did go to see Ramisa on her wedding day and she revealed to Daddy that Ishana was just an entertainment for her and nothing more.

Now present day, Daddy goes to Ishana's room to check on him, but he has jumped out of the window. Back at Ramisa's house, Damodar is furious that he has to keep on ordering his goons and the police to beat Ishana up only for Ramisa's happiness. Ramisa tries to reason with him and reveals that Anurag will be here in two days and that he and Ishana can't meet. Damodar is about to slap her, but controls himself and walks away.

He then holds a meeting with his rival and a police officer, who had previously beaten Ishana. Damodar promises to his rival that he will make him the next mayor and will pay for the promotions if he helps Damodar to temporarily get rid of Ishana. They do so, but Ishana also beats up the goons. When Ishana is trying to get away, Gutli (Damodar's henchman) stabs him from the back and they get into a nasty fight. In the fight, Gutli reveals that Ramisa has sent him to kill Ishana. The latter tells Gutli to go ahead and kill him as he knows that Ramisa only did this as she got scared the night he came over to her place. Gutli, frustrated, tells Ishana that she never loved him. She only loves her husband and used Ishana for satisfying her excessive sexual desires.

Badly wounded Ishana then rushes to Ramisa's house and strangles her, but doesn't kill her. He tells her to love her husband limitlessly and succumbs to his wounds, just as Damodar, Daddy and Lol enter the room.

Rachana Dubey of ''[[Times of India]]'' gave the film a rating of 3/5 and wrote, ‘‘''Tadap'' unabashedly plays to the gallery with action, music, and well-shot visuals, it would have helped a great deal if its screenplay had created some more room for the actors to drive home a more memorable love story’’. She praised the performances of Shetty, Sutaria and Shukla and further wrote, ‘‘Ahan has an impressive screen presence and shows a spark in his debut outing; Saurabh Shukla pulls off his act with ample warmth and conviction and Tara Sutaria as Ramisa looks gorgeous in every frame’’.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/movie-reviews/tadap/movie-review/88065053.cms|title=Tadap Movie Review: Ahan Shetty makes an intense debut, though the story leaves you craving for more |author=Rachana Dubey|date=3 December 2021|work=The Times of India |access-date=3 December 2021}}</ref> Monika Rawal Kukreja of ''[[Hindustan Times]]'' wrote, ‘‘''Tadap'' serves you raw action laced with heavyweight dialogues, old-school romance, passion, deceit, bloodshed and a few poetic lines to add a tinge of humour’’. She praised Shetty's performance by writing, ‘‘Ahan Shetty and his character arch leaves a long impression. As a young, angry action hero, he makes an intense and impressive debut’’ but criticized Sutaria's character by stating it lacked ‘‘depth’’ and ‘‘dimension’’.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/tadap-movie-review-ahan-shetty-makes-an-aggressive-but-starry-debut-101638524516011.html|title=Tadap movie review: Ahan Shetty makes an aggressive but starry debut |author=Monika Rawal Kukreja|date=3 December 2021|work=Hindustan Times |access-date=3 December 2021}}</ref> Shubhra Gupta of ''[[The Indian Express]]'' gave the film a rating of 1/5 and called its dialogues ‘‘bombastic’’ and its characters ‘‘stereotyped’’.

[[Saibal Chatterjee]] of ''[[NDTV]]'' gave the film a rating of 1.5/5 and called it a ‘‘stale’’ and ‘‘forgettable’’ film. He wrote, ‘‘''Tadap'' does not have a single original sleight; But that is the least of the film's drawbacks. Scratch the prettified surface and what you find is a [[misogyny|misogynistic]] rant masquerading as a movie’’. He praised Shetty by stating he exudes ‘‘toughness’’, ‘‘vulnerability’’ and ‘‘cherubic energy’’ but criticized the writing of Sutaria's character by stating, ‘‘Tara Sutaria, saddled with a poorly written role, is swamped out by a script that unfavourably disposed towards her’’.<ref>{{Cite news|date=December 3, 2021|title=Tadap Review: Ahan Shetty Plays Debut Role Passably Well In Stale And Forgettable Film|url=https://www.ndtv.com/entertainment/tadap-review-ahan-shetty-plays-debut-role-passably-well-in-stale-and-forgettable-film-1-5-star-2635723|url-status=live|access-date=December 4, 2021|website=[[NDTV]] }}</ref> Nandini Ramnath of ''[[Scroll.in|Scroll]]'' gave the film a rating of 1/5 and called it a ‘‘twisted tale of [[misogyny]]’’.

==Plot==
A young [[Punjabi people|Punjabi]] woman, Sweety Chaudhary, is under pressure from her traditional family to marry. She meets a young woman named Kuhu and Kuhu's brother Raza at a wedding. A year passes. In Delhi, Sahil Mirza is a playwright though not very successful, and his father, a famous film producer, thinks he should give up being a playwright. Sweety sees a rehearsal of his latest play and remarks that it is amusing but the romance is superficial. A man comes chasing her, and Sahil helps her flee. She escapes while Sahil fights the man, and Sahil accidentally hits a policeman. At the police station, Sahil learns that the man is Sweety's brother Babloo, and they live in Chaudhary Manor, Moga, Punjab. Sahil wants to see Sweety again and decides to write his next play in Moga. He is joined by Chatro, a caterer and enthusiastic amateur actress.

Sweety and Babloo's single father, Balbir Chaudhary, runs Chaudhary Garments, a clothing company. He actually wanted to become a cook, but his mother Beeji insists men do not belong in the kitchen. Babloo claims that Sweety has been going to Delhi to see a Muslim boy, so she must not be allowed to leave the house. Sahil goes to the manor with a letter for her. He sees Balbir cooking. Incorrectly assuming Balbir is the cook, Sahil pays him to give the letter to Sweety. This convinces Balbir that Sahil is Sweety's Muslim boyfriend. Sahil next pays Balbir's employee Chaubey to pass along a message to Sweety, and Chaubey tells Sahil that Sweety loves him though the family disapproves of her dating him because he is Muslim. A few individuals employed by the family bet on who Sweety will marry, with the cook Billauri betting on someone from a matchmaking app. Chaubey bets on “Mr. X”, any unknown outsider. Sweety learns Sahil is holding acting classes, and goes with Beeji and Billauri to the class. Sahil and Chatro are invited to Beeji's birthday party the following day.

At Beeji's party, Chatro bonds with Balbir over cooking. He notices Sahil enjoying the party and tells the others that Sahil is Sweety's Muslim boyfriend. Chaubey hides Sahil and brings him to Sweety's room. Sahil says he loves her. She tells him Babloo lied and she is actually in love with a girl. Sahil is astonished and too drunk to properly respond. The next day, he cancels the acting class. Billauri saw Chaubey taking Sahil to Sweety's room and blackmails him into exchanging their bets. She helps Sweety see Sahil again. Sweety explains that she did not fit in as a child and now she hides the truth about herself. She is in a relationship with Kuhu. Babloo discovered this and tried to stop it, but she continued to see Kuhu in Delhi. She is glad to have a friend to confide in, and Sahil is glad to be her friend. Sweety wants to join Kuhu in London and study art there, yet she does not want to run away from her family. Chatro tells Balbir she is divorced with kids, and feels her kids should be free to marry or not, and to marry whomever they want to, regardless of religion. This inspires Balbir to invite Sahil to dinner and announce Sweety's engagement to him, which Babloo encourages.

Sweety resolves to marry Sahil to make her family happy, though Sahil is against this. Sahil's supportive mother reminds him about a successful play he wrote that was based on a true story. He offers to write a play for Balbir's upcoming fashion show, with Balbir, Chatro, and the others as the actors. Sahil writes a romance titled ''Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga'', which will star Sweety and Kuhu. Balbir at first finds the story absurd, but Sahil defends it as a fresh new story. Babloo is supposed to be away but finds out about the play and reveals Sweety is actually in a relationship with Kuhu, not Sahil. Balbir leaves angrily, though Sweety declares the show will go on. As it becomes apparent the play is about a romance between two women, members of the audience start to leave, though many remain. After Balbir reads Sweety's diary and sees how she has felt lonely and misunderstood, he returns to the stage to defend Sweety and Kuhu. He is now accepting and supportive. The audience applauds. Later, Sahil's father congratulates him on his fresh new play. Sweety suggests Sahil present the play in other places for others like her. Balbir opens a restaurant and starts a relationship with Chatro. Billauri, claiming the gender of “Mr. X” is irrelevant, wins the bet on who Sweety would marry.

On [[review aggregator]] [[Rotten Tomatoes]], the film has a 77% approval rating based on thirteen reviews, with an average rating of 6.89/10.<ref>{{cite web|title=Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga|url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/ek_ladki_ko_dekha_toh_aisa_laga|website=[[Rotten Tomatoes]]|publisher=[[Fandango (company)|Fandango]]|access-date=3 August 2020}}</ref>

[[Saibal Chatterjee]] of [[NDTV]] gave it four stars out of five and wrote, "In the context of a commercial filmmaking tradition that has usually been appallingly uncaring of LGBTQ sensibilities, ''Ek Ladki Ko Dekha''... is a whiff of fresh air, a huge leap forward from 2008's ''[[Dostana (2008 film)|Dostana]]''. It does not seek to derive mirth and frivolity from the theme, offering instead an earnest, unapologetic depiction of the act of coming out in a conservative society." He found the story "simple enough and is told in a manner that could be faulted for being overly chaste — the same-sex lovers embrace a few times but they do not as much as plant a kiss on each other's cheeks, let alone lips — but the film achieves something far bigger than a Bollywood crowd-pleaser can....[It]...goads the audience to think differently without trying to deviate from its primary purpose, which is to deliver entertainment."<ref>{{cite web|last1=Chatterjee|first1=Saibal|title=''Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga'' Movie Review: Sonam, Anil Kapoor's Film Is A Whiff Of Fresh Air With Daring Vision And Entertainment|url=https://www.ndtv.com/entertainment/ek-ladki-ko-dekha-toh-aisa-laga-movie-review-sonam-anil-kapoors-film-is-a-whiff-of-fresh-air-4-stars-1986640|website=[[NDTV]]|date=1 February 2019}}</ref>

==Plot==
Anurag Basu and Prerna Sharma are [[Soulmate|twin flames]] made for each other, yet forced to go through several trials of life to be together.

Set in [[Kolkata]], the story focuses on Anurag and Prerna who study in the same university. Fate keeps pulling them towards each other and as they get to know one another, they slowly form a bond of trust, understanding and friendship. Prerna starts falling for Anurag.

Komolika Chaubey is an arrogant, selfish, evil and [[narcissistic]] woman. While Anurag realizes his feelings for Prerna, Komolika starts getting obsessed with him. Anurag and Prerna confess their feelings, consummate their relationship, and plan to marry. Seeing them plan a future together, Komolika creates misunderstandings between them. She asks Anurag to marry her in order to save Prerna's house. Compelled and helpless, Anurag agrees. Unaware of the truth, Prerna is left shocked. Dazed, she gets hit by a car and is taken to the hospital, where she is revealed to be pregnant.

Hurt and rebellious, Prerna enters the Basu house, successfully exposes Komolika and gets her arrested. Komolika escapes prison and returns to kill Prerna, but falls down the terrace and goes missing. Anurag and Prerna happily reunite and get engaged.

Rishabh Bajaj is a successful, powerful and selfish businessman. He falsely frames Anurag and gets him jailed. Further, he asks Prerna to marry him in exchange for Anurag's freedom. Helpless, she agrees. Heartbroken, Anurag questions Prerna. She lies to him, hoping he moves on but Anurag remains adamant and refuses to give up on their love. Rishabh starts falling for Prerna. Aware of the fact that Prerna loves Anurag, Rishabh tries to kill him. When his daughter Kukki ends up getting hurt while trying to stop Rishabh, he steps back. Anurag and Prerna reunite again.

Vengeful, Komolika makes a comeback. Prerna reveals her pregnancy to Anurag and the two rejoice as they get ready to marry. Komolika causes Anurag's accident.

===1 month later===
Anurag loses his memory. Komolika fakes an identity and misuses the opportunity to make Anurag and the Basus believe that they got married. Prerna discovers Komolika's identity and decides to expose her but refrains in fear of affecting Anurag's memory. Komolika tries to kill Prerna and her child but fails every time.

Prerna gives birth to Sneha, Anurag regains his memory. Komolika threatens Anurag to frame Prerna for murder. She asks Anurag to pretend to push her off the bridge. Rishabh, who still has feelings for Prerna, recommends Anurag to follow the plan, hoping to keep the two away. When Anurag refuses, Komolika threatens life long jail for Prerna. Helpless, Anurag agrees and asks Rishabh to promise to save Prerna.

Anurag pushes Prerna off a bridge and is saved by Rishabh. Komolika then abandons Sneha in an orphanage and bribes a worker to burn it. Reeling from heartbreak and shock, Prerna reaches the orphanage and is devastated to see it on fire. Broken beyond belief, Prerna moves to London with Rishabh.

===8 years later===
Prerna thrives as a successful businesswoman in London while Anurag's business does well in Kolkata. Prerna maintains a formal relation with Rishabh, still detesting Anurag for his betrayal. Anurag hates Komolika and lives in constant guilt. Prerna leaves for Kolkata to avenge her daughter's death. Anurag and Prerna meet an orphan, and feel a powerful connection to her, unaware that she is Sneha.

Anurag breaks ties with Komolika, reveals the truth to Prerna and shows her the proofs. He explains how he tried to constantly contact her, but was isolated by Rishabh. The two reunite, reminiscing the time they lost, the pain they faced and get remarried. Enraged, Komolika stabs Prerna but ends up wounding Rishabh, when he tries to save Prerna. Rishabh stabs Komolika in return, and kills her. Before dying, Rishabh apologizes to Prerna and Anurag for being selfish and separating them and asks them to take care of Kuki.

===1 month later===
Anurag and Prerna live a happy life with their daughter Sneha in Kolkata.

==Reception==
===Critical response===
Shweta Kesari from ''[[India Today]]'' said, "Parth Samthaan and Erica Fernandes beautifully fit into the shoes of punctual Anurag and carefree Prerna. The grandeur and magnificence of the show will make your jaw drop. The makers have tried to retain the essence of Kolkata and Bengalis. Overall the show is a complete package of entertainment for soap viewers!"<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/television/reviews/story/kasauti-zindagi-kay-2-review-parth-erica-shine-in-this-retelling-of-the-epic-love-saga-1349659-2018-09-26|title=Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 first episode review: Parth-Erica shine in this retelling of the epic love saga|website=India Today|language=en}}</ref>

Soumya Srivastava from ''[[Hindustan Times]]'' described the show as "louder and garnish" and said, "The background score is excessive. It plays without reason and way too often. Whether the scene demands it or not, a joyful, somber or a comical tone is always there to force your brain into thinking that this is how you are supposed to feel right now."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/tv/kasautii-zindagii-kay-2-episode-1-review-there-was-no-room-for-it-but-things-have-become-worse/story-rScd2GNV4DAmg8L1zdHCSP.html|title=Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 episode 1 review: There was no room for it but things have become worse|website=Hindustan Times|language=en}}</ref>

''[[Times Now]]'' commented that, "The reboot takes you in the lives of Anurag and Prerna that were part of our every day lives and the first episode is all about nostalgia of the epic [[Kasautii Zindagii Kay (2001 TV series)|Kasautii Zindagii Kay]]."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.timesnownews.com/videos/zoom/episode-updates/kasautii-zindagii-kay-2-or-kasauti-zindagi-ki-full-comparative-review-of-first-episode/10837|title=Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 Or Kasauti Zindagii Kay? Full Review|website=Times Now|language=en-GB}}</ref>

Priyanka Bansal from ''[[The Quint]]'' stated, "Both Erica Fernandes and Parth Samthaan are new and have huge shoes to fill. More often than not, Erica looks bored and still has a long way to go with her acting skills. The chemistry between Parth and Erica too seems to be lacking. When it comes to production values, it of course shows primarily in the sets. As OTT and royal as they come, they scream money from the rooftops."<ref>{{Cite web|title='Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2': What Makes the Reboot Hot (Or Not)?|url=https://www.thequint.com/entertainment/tv/kasautii-zindagii-kay-2-early-review-ekta-kapoor-comeback|website=[[The Quint]]|date=26 September 2018 }}</ref>

''[[The Times of India]]'' stated, "Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 has a cinematic appeal. The visuals and the sets are grand. The difference in the financial status of Anurag and Prerna is well brought-out through their homes and familial set-up. Even though the show moves at a swift pace, it is the long introduction of characters in the beginning that is bound to make you impatient. Erica and Parth look their part, yet there is more one wants to see out of them in the upcoming episodes. The first episode is a breezy watch and keeps you hooked."<ref>{{Cite web|title=Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 first episode review: Erica Fernandes and Parth Samthaan's show keeps you hooked|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tv/news/hindi/kasautii-zindagii-kay-2-first-episode-review-erica-fernandes-and-parth-samthaans-show-keeps-you-hooked/articleshow/65961005.cms|website=The Times of India|language=en}}</ref>
