Hina Khan who once played simpleton Akshara is set to play the suave and stylish Komolika in Kasauti Zindagi Kay remake. The offer came her way post her drastic weight loss and style transformation. This is not the first time, a mainstream TV actress has taken the risk of getting rid of her traditional image to bag complex roles with negative shades.
Hina Khan: Hina's journey started with Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai where she played the role of ideal bahu Akshara. While the character underwent several transformations, the actress found herself trapped in the image of a traditional bahu for eight long years. She got the perfect opportunity to revamp her image with Bigg Boss 11 where she grabbed eyeballs with her stylish clothes and bindaas attitude. As a result, after coming out of the house, she was not only signed as a glamorous girl for a music album, but also bagged the role of iconic vamp Komolika in the Kasauti Zindagi Kay reboot.
Jennifer Winget: Jennifer started her career as a cute and endearing Sneha in Kasauti Zindagi Kay. She however was never trapped in a particular image thanks to her transformations over the years and played the main protagonist in shows like Saraswati Chandra. Her most noteworthy role so far is in Beyhadh where she played Maya, an obsessive lover that could go to any extent for love. She is currently playing the delicate and gorgeous Zoya in Bepannaah.
Anita Hassanandani: Anita has come a long way from her initial days in the television industry. She played the role of a simple girl Tanu in popular daily soap Kabhi Sautan Kabhi Saheli, whereas Urvashi Dholakia played her best friend Sonia. She starred as a protagonist in shows like Kkavyanjali and important roles in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Kayamath, Kasamh Se among many others. Among her most memorable roles is Shagun, the lady who makes Raman and Ishita's life miserable in daily soap Yeh Hai Mohabbatein. She's now playing the role of shape-shifting snakewoman Vish in Naagin 3, again a role with negative shades. Over the years, she worked on her physique and underwent a style makeover to make her place in the industry.
Nia Sharma: Nia Sharma who played the role of protagonist Roshni in TV show Jamai Raja and has been seen in positive roles in shows like Behnen, Ek Hazzaron Mein Meri Behna Hai, Kaali, recently turned negative for Vikram Bhatt's web series Twisted wherein she played a supermodel involved in multiple murders.
