In the last week, we saw Kasautii Zindagii Kay actor Cezanne Khan coming on board to play Harman in Rubina Dilaik's show, Shakti Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki. The actor was roped in makers after Vivian Dsena refused to reprise his role in the new season. While we saw fans cheering for Cezanne, who is came back on the small screen after a long time, a certain compared him with Vivian. Actress Kamya Panjabi, who portrays the character of Harman's mother Preeto in the show reacted to this comparison, as she wrote on her Instagram post, "Harman preeto ki phir wahi nok jhok P.S: Its not fair to compare both the actors! We all know that both of them are brilliant actors and have done some amazing work in the past!
