After this first encounter, he repeatedly sees the same girl in various places, but is not able to speak to her on all occasions. However, her memory haunts him and eventually, he finds himself falling in love with this mysterious woman.
It was the biggest launch of 2005, for Indian soap, the serial made big news by being the comeback vehicle of Amrita Singh, Vidya Sinha and Natassha. Fortunately, the television ratings provide much support to the serial even in mid August 2005, the show became the #1 show of India. But the death of the male protagonist, Eijaz Khan (Kavya) made things worse. But with the entry of Mohammad Iqbal Khan as Shaurya and a change in the storyline, the serial recovered its lost position.
It's been a year since Kavya's death. Anjali has become a stronger person. She is performing Kavya's duties in the family and is looking after the family business as well. It's the perfect match of a modern woman, who is also traditional.
Recently a lookalike of Kavya named Soham has entered the program, Anjali had made out to the family that he is Kavya so she can find the murderer of Kavya. Soham seems to be an evil character.
However soon after finding out about Kavya's killer which was Yug, Soham decides to prove to Anjali that the killer is Yug but Yug tries to blame Kavya and Nitya's death on Shaurya but everything is found out by Soham and he brings proof and Yug kills himself.
Soon after that Soham realises that he loves Anjali but so does Shaurya. Anjali also starts to love him and Shaurya sees this in their eyes so when Shaurya and Anjali are about to get married, Shaurya stops the wedding and says bad stuff about Anjali and Soham says out loud Anjali is not and he also shouts out that he loves her.

Reception
Kkavyanjali has completed its successful run for 1.5 years and got off-aired because of some conflict between Ekta Kapoor and Star Plus due to its change in time slot. The show had recorded the fifth highest TRP of Indian television i-e 19.7. The show ran almost one year but won many awards. The show got the awards in both categories i-e Technical and Programming for both Jury and Popularity.[1] Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii has dropped in ratings in 2005, so Ekta Kapoor (producer) crossovered Kahaani and Kkavyanjali after which Kahaani saw a spike in its ratings. Anita Hassanandani charged 40 thousand per day at that time. The show was also shot in Hong Kong due to its popularity and high budget. Pritam charged 20 lakhs for its unique music composition.
