The Show must Go On!!

Ekta Kapoor has eventually got her new Bani in Gurdeep Kohli. But is all alright between the Queen of Soaps and the original Bani, Prachi Desai?


The fame of Kasamh Se, Prachi Desai will soon be replaced by Gurdeep Kohli. The actress who caught the attention of all with her performance in Sanjivini, had always been the first choice for Ekta Kapoor. “We were always keen on having Gurdeep right from day one, as we thought that she can do justice to the role of Bani after Prachi, but I had kept other options open too”, states Ekta Kapoor.

When asked how she reacted when Prachi decided to leave Kasamh Se that got her fame and join the Bollywood league, Ekta explains very patiently, “I don't think I can stop anybody from moving ahead in life. Secondly Farhan as well as Prachi are dear to me, and I wish them all the very best for the film”. Adding on, Ekta states, “When Prachi came and told me about her Bollywood offer and the condition laid before her to quit television, I was very supportive of her and asked her to give me a three months notice period, so that I could hunt for another Bani. Prachi readily agreed to it and things happened as planned for both of us”.


There has also been a buzz that Ekta has spent good bucks for Prachi’s exit and Gurdeep’s entry episode, wherein the protagonist Bani will suffer a major setback where her face gets disfigured.
It is also heard that the long and sweet association that Prachi had with Ekta eventually gave up, when Prachi during a photo shoot refused to put up a blood-smeared face to portray a slashed face. Well, Prachi sighted the reason that excess make-up will eventually spoil her skin, and just walked off from the set leaving the entire unit clueless! When asked about this incident, Ekta quickly said, “No comments on this please”.

Well, have things really turned sour between Prachi and Ekta? We never know!!

    Yet another supremely talented and beautiful actress has been added to the KS cast... awesome!

    Welcome Gurdeep ji to KS. I'm sure that she'll do a fantastic job in her portrayal of Bani. I thought that Bani has turned kinda lame and conventional in the last year, and so it'll be great if Gurdeep ji could bring a stronger side to the character.

    Anyways, Prachi did a fine job of potraying Bani in the first year of the show. I wish her all the best in her future work. However, I have to say that IF it is true about that tantrum regarding the slashed face photo, then that is very unproffesional, childish, and outright pathetic brother.

    God bless.

    I am aure Gurdeep will do fine as Bani, but I will deeply miss PD. Glad PD is on her way to become an actress like she had dreamed of.

    best of luck to PRachi the Great balaji bahu ,ts a common phenomena thnat the auiesncew get attached to thwe actor playiing the character from day one esp if the show is as poular as KS and the lead protagonist s are a favourite jodi.Its The charcter bani the audience likes , with Time The new bani will warm their hearts
    PD was good in the very initial days later .....
    . I am very Happy with Balaji's choice - Gurdeep- she's more talented and prettier than PD and will be an excellent Bani, most importantly she is enthusiastic to play a 40 something mother to a teen , that should be reason enough to like the new Bani as she's happy to play a very loved charcter ..BANI.PD wanted to become an actress she did and got all the fame , glory and adulation via Balaji the most renowned production house .goal accomplished Its just a Matter of more offers at her doorstep .
    Welcome to Kasam se Gurdeep .

    From the picture it does look like they have changed the disfigurement scene into one with just the 3-4 slashes.

    Earlier too, the production house has adjusted tracks as Prachi was never keen on playing the role of a mother.

    Well at least Prachi will now not have to deal with what she perceives as nuisances. Good luck to her.

    Welcome Gurdeep!! Wishing you the best in your new endevear!
