Earlier, Hina Khan shared a picture of herself and Ekta Kapoor from the premiere of Home, a web-series produced by Ekta through ALT Balaji. Hina Khan captioned the post: "And my first ever selfie with the woman I looked up to all these years... Your energy is simply love dear Ekta."
After Ekta's comment, several Instagram users were confused about Hina's association with the project. It was earlier reported that Hina Khan was the highest paid actor on the sets of Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2, featuring Erica Fernandes in lead role.
Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 is a remake of Ekta Kapoor's old show of the same name which aired from 2002 to 2008. It featured Shweta Tiwari and Cezanne Khan as Prerna and Anurag, who were soulmates divided by a scheming Komolika, played by Urvashi.
In a Twitter conversation, Ekta Kapoor revealed the traits of her new Komolika - less OTT for starters. Ekta Kapoor added: "The actor will have to look very innocent... child-like face and unbelievably sharp. Hoping to give this antagonist a complete reboot."
Hina Khan played the lead role of Akshara in TV show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai for eight years after which she quit the show. Hina then appeared on reality shows Khatron Ke Khiladi and Bigg Boss 11.
