Ekta Kapoor's Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 has been in news recently after the makers announced that it has begun the hunt for Mr Bajaj to replace Karan Singh Grover, who was playing the iconic role in the show. Grover had announced that he had opted out and was not willing to return to the show.

According to a report in The Times of India, Karan Patel has been finalised to step in KSG's shoes as Mr. Bajaj. Patel, who has became a houshold name, thanks to his role in Yeh Hai Mohabbatein. Speaking to the publication, the actor spoke about playing Mr. Bajaj, replacing Karan Singh Grover, and comparisons that will be made once he enters the show. He said, "Mr Bajaj is an iconic character and it has lived on in people's minds for years. So, it's a matter of honour to take it ahead from where Ronit Roy and Karan Singh Grover left and add my nuances to it. I intend to make this character as iconic and loved as Mr Bhalla (his character in ‘Yeh Hai Mohabbatein’) had become over a period of six years.”
