Overview
Kundali Bhagya is a Hindi-language family drama television series produced by Balaji Telefilms and broadcast on Zee TV. Launched as a direct spin-off of the long-running serial Kumkum Bhagya, the show centers on relationships, marriages and intergenerational conflicts in an affluent household. It attracted large weekday audiences after its premiere and developed into one of the network's flagship dramas. Episodes are also made available through digital platforms such as online streaming.
Premise and main characters
The narrative chiefly follows two sisters whose lives become entwined with a wealthy family, leading to romantic entanglements, rivalries and family intrigue. Central figures in the early years include Preeta, portrayed by Shraddha Arya, and Karan Luthra, a scion of the Luthra family originally played by Dheeraj Dhoopar and later portrayed by Shakti Arora. Like many Indian serials, the show uses marriages, misunderstandings and time leaps to renew its plotlines and extend the drama across multiple seasons.
Production and broadcast
The series is produced by Ekta Kapoor's Balaji Telefilms and follows the production values and storytelling style common to that company: ensemble casts, episodic cliffhangers and a mix of domestic and romantic themes. It premiered on television in 2017 and has been scheduled on weekdays, contributing to its steady viewership.
