Reprising the adored characters – Sehrazat & Onur in the Indian edition will be Aditi Dev Sharma and Adnan Khan. Produced by Sphere Origins, the show premieres on 5th December and will air every Mon-Fri at 8:30 pm only on Sony Entertainment Television.

An award-winning architect, Katha is a picture of courage and optimism. Unstoppable in her enterprising nature, she never shows her vulnerabilities even when she is deeply hurt or going through an emotional turbulence. On the other hand, Viaan’s is an alpha male who has a belief system that is skewed against women, as he views them as a mere opportunist. But when Katha and Viaan are faced with a storm owing to an irreversible situation; will their relationship make a headway?

Aditi Dev Sharma who essays the role of Katha, shares, “What makes Katha Ankahee truly special for me is that it gives me the opportunity to bring alive a beguiling narrative for the Indian audiences that has been adored globally. My character Katha represents a modern day woman with an indomitable spirit. In the race of life, despite having a 9 to 5 job, Katha continues to hustle with multiple jobs at hand sometimes she is a broker, a freelancer or either works as a yoga teacher; Why is Katha juggling with so many jobs? What is the reason behind Katha’s struggle? These questions will weave in a powerful intrigue amongst the viewers to know what the actual reason is. Playing Katha gives me a chance to challenge myself and test my mettle as an actor and I am glad to be doing this. With Katha and Viaan’s journey in the show, viewers will get to experience a myriad of emotions as their story unfolds. I am very excited for this new journey and can’t wait for this captivating story to come alive as it will be an interesting watch for the viewers.”

Adnan Khan who plays the character of Viaan, exclaims, “The style of storytelling, captivating narrative, and the strong characterization got me hooked from the very first go; And, I truly understood the reason behind the popularity of the superhit Turkish series 1001 Nights (Binbir Gece) and I am pleased to be a part of the Hindi remake ‘Kathaa Ankahee’. Viaan’s character is intense as he has multiple layers to him which makes it very interesting to play. He is a successful businessman who likes to be in control. Owing to an emotional baggage from the past, Viaan has a belief system that is skewed against women hence he doesn’t trust them at all. Katha Ankahee is a love story that is high on emotions as it dives deep into the feeling of love, repentance and an unforgiveable wound; and the beauty of the show lies in its characters and the situations they are in. I am glad to be sharing the screen space with such a talented actress i.e. Aditi; she is amazing at what she does and we are having a wonderful time working on this. I am sure the show will touch the right chords and hope the audience shower our show with a lot of love.”

Along with Aditi Dev Sharma and Adnan Khan, Kathaa Ankahee boasts of an ensemble cast featuring Sheen Das, Samar Virmani, Ajinkya Mishra and Gireesh Sahdev amongst others.
