Aamna Sharif who stepped in as Komolika in Kasauti Zindagii Kay 2 after Hina Khan left the project, said in an interview that playing such a character not only pushed her out of her comfort zone but also affected her mental health. She went on to say that though she had played the role of Sulochana in Ek Villain, it was a grey role and nothing as intense as playing Komolika.

Aamna Sharif said, “It was so heavy to play her because the scenes Komolika performed were so negative. I remember in one specific scene I had to kill a newborn which played with my mental health.” The original and legendary character was played by Urvashi Dholakia so well, that it has left a standard that very few actors can surpass.
