Apart from these two main characters, there was another character that is still remembered by the show's fans. It was Urvashi Dholakia's negative role of Komolika that is still fresh in people's minds. A report in indianexpress states that reality show queen Hina Khan is most likely being considered to play antagonist Komolika's part. Talking about this development, a source told the portal, "Hina has mostly been finalised. The financial contract and the final creatives are being locked with her. As for Kushal, the channel has liked his look test and things will be taken ahead with him. Ekta is personally keeping a tab on all the developments, as the show is very important to her. She will announce the final cast mostly by end of the month."
Ekta Kapoor had taken to Twitter to announce that her first choice will mostly be the last and final one for Komolika's character, as she is an iconic antagonist. She had written, "Even though there will b a reboot in her character … it'll b a v difficult casting for this iconic antagonist! So first choice will b hopefully d last choice JAI MATA DI (sic)."
