Mean and manipulative Tapasya, who made Ichcha's life hell in TV show "Uttaran", is ready to make a come back in the popular show that will complete 1,000 episodes Wednesday.

The show that went on air December 2008 on Colors has taken two generation-leaps. It started as a story of two girls - slum kid Ichcha and Tapasya, who's born with a silver spoon. It traced the ups and downs their friendship goes through while they grow up together.

The storyline took a 10-year leap forward in 2009 and actors Tina Dutta and Rashmi Desai were introduced as Ichcha and Tapasya, respectively.

After the next generation-leap of 18 years, Tapasya went missing from the show but now the latest promos are hinting at her comeback in the show.

It would be interesting to see the "mean lady" re-entering the show. According to sources, Rashmi is likely to play Tapasya.
