1/9

Cezanne Khan — Cezanne Khan

One of the prime examples is Cezanne Khan who played Anurag Basu on the original Kasautii Zindagii Kay. He made millions of women swoon over him but that show remains his sole blockbuster hit. He did shows post that but none of them could make as much noise as KZK. Of late, he was seen on Shakti – Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki as Harman Singh.

2/9

Ratan Rajput — Ratan Rajput

A very fine actress Ratan Rajput made audiences it up and take notice with her heartfelt performance in Agle Janam Mohe Bitiya Hi Kijo. But she could not follow it up with more success as a leading lady. Even her stint on Bigg Boss was rather lacklustre.

Aamna Sharif — Aamna Sharif

Who can forget the stunning Aamna Sharif as Kashish on Kahiin Toh Hoga? Her chemistry with rumoured beau, Rajeev Khandelwal was the talk of the town. Aamna Sharif tried to make a foray in Bollywood but her debut was unsuccessful. After years of enjoying domestic bliss, she made a comeback with Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2.

4/9

Aditi Rathore — Aditi Rathore

We are all waiting to see Aditi Rathore make a solid comeback with a big show. Her performance as Avani on Naamkarann is still fresh on our minds. She returned on screen with Aapki Nazron Ne Samjha in a negative role but the show was not a success.

Suraj Rathi of Diya Aur Baati Hum has been missing in action ever since the show went off air. He got married some years ago and is now a proud father. Fans are waiting for him to make a comeback.

6/9

Giaa Manek — Giaa Manek

The original Gopi Bahu is also in this category. Giaa Manek was missing from TV shows for a long time after she quit Saath Nibhaana Saathiya. She was at the peak of her career. She has made a comeback with Manmohini in a lead role but it was no great shakes. Now, she is seen on Tera Mera Saath Rahe.

Karan Mehra — Karan Mehra

Like Anas Rashid, Karan Mehra too became famous all over India and abroad as Naitik Singhania from Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. He took on Bigg Boss and a couple of TV shows but none of them made a noise.

8/9

Niti Taylor — Niti Taylor

While she did some popular shows like Ishqbaaaz after Kaisi Yeh Yaariaan, Niti is still remembered as the innocent and bubbly Nandini Murthy. We also expect a comeback from Niti Taylor at the earliest. Also Read - EXCLUSIVE! Ashish Sharma and wife Archana Taide refuse Nach Baliye for the fourth time in a row!

Parul Chauhan — Parul Chauhan

Parul Chauhan is known across desi homes as Ragini from Bidaai….Sapna Babul Ka. She also parted Suwarna Goenka on Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. After a very successful show, Parul struggled to find shows that left a similar impact.
