In a blast from the past, it will be revealed that Kkusum’s Abhay has another child besides daughters Kumud and Kali. It’s a son called Trishul from Abhay’s former wife Taashu.
To add some more drama to the long-running Balaji daily, the character of Trishul comes with loads of attitude and style. His identity, however, will not be revealed till his mother Taashu appears.
Taashu, played by Narayani Shastri, is expected to resurface in mid January. Taashu who was Abhay’s wife over a year ago, obviously hated Kkusum's guts.
Incidentally, this makes Abhay the father of three children from three different wives- Kkusum, Taashu and Mahi- in the show.
Earlier, Balaji had decided to name the illegitimate son as Agnivesh. Madhur Arora from Jaipur was supposed to play Agnivesh. Arora was previously seen in two episodes of Kitni Mast Hai Zindagi (MTV). He has also featured in a commercial for Onida TV and SaharaOne.
But Ekta's trusted lieutenants inform, "Arora didn't seem to fit in the scheme of things. The character has too much attitude, beyond imagination. So we'll be casting a new guy to fit in as Trishul. Arora will remain in the serial as Agnivesh. He will be Trishul's right hand."
The casting of Trishul will be finalised in the first week of January 2005.
