Kasautii Zindagii Kay (Hindi: कसौटी ज़िंदगी के; English: The criterion of life), often abbreviated as KZK, is an Indian Soap Opera created by Ekta Kapoor for the channel STAR Plus.[2][3] The show ran for seven long years and starred Shweta Tiwari, Cezzane Khan (who was later replaced by Hiten Tejwani), and Ronit Roy in lead roles;[4] Urvashi Dholakia and Geetanjali Tikekar as the main antagonists. The show explores the story of Anurag and Prerna who fall for each other but they never unite because of Komolika who plots against them and the conspiracies made against them. It describes Anurag and Prerna—lovers who were separated throughout their lives but achieved union in death.

Kasautii Zindagii Kay became the third longest running Indian series after Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi and Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii—the latter two of which were also produced by Balaji Telefilms. The show recorded one of the highest TRPs and introduced many popular faces like Shweta Tiwari, Cezzane Khan, Urvashi Dholakia, Ronit Roy, Geetanjali Tikekar, Karanvir Bohra, Tina Parekh and Jennifer Winget.[5]

Concept

Kasautii Zindagi Kay is about Anurag and Prerna, the star-crossed lovers, who time and again meet and separate as they get entwined in the web of love and revenge. The show later turned into a love triangle involving Prerna, Rishab Bajaj and Anurag.

Plot

Two lovers Anurag and Prerna want to get married with each other but the couple get separated when Anurag is forced to get married to Komolika by the emotional blackmail of his mother, Mohini. Devastated and heart-broken Prerna who finds herself pregnant, now hates Anurag for what he has done to her. Anurag on the other hand feels terrible for Prerna and secretly helps her establish her career. Komolika turns out to be a tight-fisted and power-hungry woman who married Anurag for the sake of his wealth. Anurag comes to know all this and also about the existence of his child 'Prem' with Prerna, a secret she had kept hidden. He divorces Komolika and wishes to marry Prerna but due to some unspecified reason Prerna has to marry an arrogant business tycoon Rishabh Bajaj the reason of which is later revealed. Prerna married Rishabh to save Anurag's wealth and property which Bajaj had acquired by joining hands with Komolika. After a series of twists and turns including the return of Rishab Bajaj's ex-wife Menaka, Anurag and Prerna get into a matrimony. They stay blissfully for a while but soon their son Prem dies. Their marriage also ends in a bitter divorce due to misunderstandings and their crumbling faith in each other. Prerna is pregnant again but no one believes that is Anurag's child and everyone accuses her of having illicit relations with Rishab Bajaj. During this time Prerna is supported by Mr. Bajaj who changes into a positive character on seeing her plight. Anurag marries another woman 'Aparna' and Prerna unable to see him with someone else leaves the city. Years later Anurag and Prerna's daughter 'Sneha' has turned 8. Anurag's family also comes to know that Sneha is indeed Anurag's daughter. They all repent but Prerna refuses to forgive them especially Anurag. Things get better with time but Prerna gives the right to be called as Sneha's father to Mr. Bajaj only as he was the one who helped her raise Sneha all these years. In an attepmt to save Sneha who has been diagnosed with leukemia, Anurag and Prerna have another child for marrow transplantation and name him Prem in the memory of their previous dead son. Sneha is saved. Rishabh and Prerna get married to each other. Prerna slowly falls in love with Mr. Bajaj. Anurag Prerna form a deep friendship with underlying love( occasionally shown between their souls). Various twists and turns and introduction of several new characters later, the story finally ends with the death of anurag-prerna & their souls uniting forever.
