Actor Karan Singh Grover, who is currently reprising the role of Mr. Bajaj in the Kasautii Zindagii Kay reboot, says it was not easy to recreate the iconic character.

"It's been quite challenging. We have put in a lot of hard work and effort to make Mr. Bajaj accepted the way he was loved and accepted by the audience years ago. It's not only my efforts...Ekta Kapoor (producer), Shivangi, Muzzamil and Khwaja helped me shape this character and making is as magnanimous as it is," Karan told IANS after receiving Best Actor in Negative Male Award at Gold Awards.
