What inspired Ekta to name the iconic couple as ‘Anurag’ & ‘Prerna’?

StarPlus’ love saga ‘Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2’ is finally back. The show has made a comeback on Indian television after 18 long years. The show has garnered immense love and popularity and we cannot wait to see what’s in store for us again.
Anurag and Prerna, this iconic couple is etched in our hearts after all these years and the inspiration behind their names is finally revealed. Ekta Kapoor tweeted about a quiz where she asked the audience to guess who Prerna was named after and later disclosed the same.
Ekta Kapoor, who holds this show very close to her heart said, “I named Anurag after my director friend Anurag Basu and while I was thinking for the female lead’s name, I found the name Prerna very nice and it clicked me at one. Prerna was inspired by my father’s very close friend Prem Chopra’s daughter, Prerna Chopra, who is now Sharman Joshi’s wife.”  She further added, “Anurag means love and Prerna stands for inspiration and these names perfectly fit the show.”
