Kumkum's dying!

This is a twist in the tale…with a difference! Juhi Parmar, who plays the lead in Star Plus' Kumkum, is slated to die soon. … but in true telly style, she will resurface to win back her life and love. When we quizzed Juhi some days ago about the expected twist in the afternoon Star Plus soap, she had said, "The twist is something that will be unexpected, something that has never happened before on Indian television." Meanwhile, Sumit, Kumkum's husband, played by Hussain, will lose his memory and will fall in love with a village belle, Vrinda, who is staying with the Wadhwas now. In a very predictable move, the character played by Aman Verma, will be shown murdered. The plot will then take off from there. And, to add to all their woes, the Wadhwa clan will yet again be homeless…they are set to lose all their wealth…and this time it is not because of set renovations! For the uninitiated, Kumkum is expecting a baby, but is herself suffering from a malignant growth, that's currently threatening both her and her baby's life. Despite Sumit's requests, however, Kumkum is unwilling to abort the baby. So look out for all this in Kumkum, which is now being directed by Arvind Babbal.
