After Hina Khan, Erica Fernandes to quit Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2?

It has not been more than a week since fans got to know that Hina Khan a.k.a Komolika bid adieu to Ekta Kapoor’s Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2. And now the news that Erica Fernandes, who plays female lead Prerna, is also quitting the show has inflamed the internet.

If Fernandes is indeed leaving, it will be the second high-profile exit from the show and that too within a week. Though the makers have yet not confirmed the development, some media outlets report that the writers have already started planning her exit track.


According to reports, Erica Fernandes’ track will come to an end in a couple of days. "The writers are currently working on how to justify her exit. At the moment, they have yet to figure if Erica will be replaced,” a well-placed source reveals to a tabloid.

When Erica was contacted to get a confirmation, the actress chose not to comment. "I wouldn't want to comment on this,” she said.

Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2, which hit the airwaves on 25th September 2018, is a reboot of Balaji Telefilms’ 2001 series Kasautii Zindagii Kay. The Star Plus show has always been one of the most popular soap operas on the network ever since its launch.

With reports of Erica Fernandes quitting the show setting the internet on fire, it remains to be seen which actress Ekta Kapoor zeroes in on as her replacement.
