Zee TV’s beloved show Kumkum Bhagya continues to engage viewers with its emotional depth and unexpected twists. Just as Shivansh (Namik Paul) and Prarthana (Pranali Rathod) begin to move beyond resentment and form a genuine bond, a blast from the past threatens to disrupt everything. What started as a revenge-driven marriage has slowly grown into quiet care—until Sonalika walks in, full of hope, unaware of the storm she’s about to face.
Popular television actress Roopam Sharma enters the show as Sonalika, Shivansh’s ex-fiancée—completely in the dark about his marriage to Prarthana. Returning during a festive family pooja, she expects a warm reunion but is met with a truth that shatters her world. Adding to the drama, Roopam steps into a grey-shaded role, where Sonalika’s presence doesn’t just stir emotions but sparks tension and chaos in the couple’s fragile new bond. With unresolved feelings, Sonalika is all set to turn their world upside down, bringing twists that promise to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
Roopam Sharma said, “I’ve been watching Kumkum Bhagya, and to now be a part of this iconic show feels surreal. Joining the cast has been an incredibly rewarding experience, especially because I get to play a character like Sonalika—she’s not your average girl-next-door. She walks in with love and longing, but what makes her stand out is the emotional baggage she carries and the storm she’s about to unleash. There’s vulnerability, but also jealousy, and when she realises that the man she’s held onto is no longer hers, something shifts. That pain brings out a darker, messier side to her, and tapping into that grey zone has been creatively liberating. Sonalika doesn’t hold back, and she’s definitely going to shake things up for Shivansh and Prarthana. I’m having a blast playing her and I can’t wait to see how the audience reacts once she makes her presence felt!”
With Sonalika’s dramatic return threatening to unravel the delicate bond between Shivansh and Prarthana, Kumkum Bhagya is all set to deliver another emotionally gripping chapter. Will Shivansh find the courage to face his past? How will Prarthana cope with a truth that threatens the fragile bond they’ve just begun to build? And can Sonalika accept that the man she returned for is no longer hers to claim?
