Ekta Kapoor's new daily soap 'Kayamath' will go on air on Star Plus replacing her old serial 'Kahion To Hoga' in the 2300 hrs slot from February 19.

Kayamath's story centers on the character 'Praachi' - a simple girl with dreams in her eyes, believes in 'fairy tale' romances as she awaits her 'prince charming'. In a world full of smart, confident and intelligent women, Praachi comes across as a vulnerable and docile character.

She is innocent, lovable, introvert, extremely homesick and very dependant on her father and best friend Neev. It is the story about Praachi's discovery of her love for Neev, and their journey from being just friends to being lovers or soulmates, said Ekta.

Commenting on show's concept, STAR India Senior Creative Director Shailja Kejriwal said, ''Shows like 'Kasautii Zindagi Ki' and 'Kahiin To Hoga' have shown that simple love stories always find a place in the hearts of viewers.

With 'Kayamath' coming at a primetime slot, our endeavour is to unfold an intense, passionate love story which carries a simple plot through its simple and relatable characters.'' The show's prime focus Praachi will be played by Panchi Bora.

The serial stars veteran actor Mohnish Behl as Praachi's father, and debutant Jay Bhanushali, who essays an important role of Praachi's best friend Neev, while actress Prachi Shah will be seen as Aarti (Praachi's mother) in the show. The cast also includes other important characters played by Shabbir Alhuwalia, Neena Kulkarni, Shenaz Patel, Suraj Thapar, Amita Chandikar, Mini Tiwari among others.
