It is the tale of two lovers who can never meet, soulmates who love each other deeply but are separated.

==Plot==

Kkavya Nanda, a charming and eligible young man, is the only son of the late Mayank Nanda ([[Ronit Roy]]) and his wife, Nitya Nanda ([[Amrita Singh]]). He is the sole heir to more than half of the Nanda group of industries.

Kkavya is coming back to India after many years and everyone in the close-knit joint family is eagerly awaiting his return. A series of parties and celebrations have been planned to welcome him. And in one such party, Kkavya sees a beautiful girl who leaves a lasting impression on his mind.

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. The television ratings provided 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]]) (Kkavya) made things worse. But with the entry of ([[Mohammed Iqbal Khan]]) as Shaurya and a change in the storyline, the serial recovered its lost position.

It's been a year since Kkavya's death. Anjali has become a stronger person. She is performing Kkavya'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 Kkavya named Soham ([[Eijaz Khan]]) has entered the program, Anjali had made out to the family that he is Kkavya so she can find the murderer of Kkavya. Soham seems to be an evil character.

However soon after finding out about Kkavya's killer which was Yug, Soham decides to prove to Anjali that the killer is Yug ([[Hiten Tejwani]]) but Yug tries to blame Kkavya 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. Shaurya said he knew as it was his plan to bring out his feelings. Then Soham and Anjali get married and live happily ever after with the blessings of the family.

==Reception==
Kkavyanjali which premiered at 9:30pm ([[Indian Standard Time|IST]]), which Producer [[Ekta Kapoor]] considered one of her critical show at that time with a great hope, was touted as the best fiction launch of the year 2005 but did not receive the expected success.<ref>{{Cite web|title=I've never been busier|url=https://m.telegraphindia.com/india/i-ve-never-been-busier/cid/968648|website=The Telegraph}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=The year that was:2006|url=https://m.rediff.com/yearend/2007/jan/05yrsl8.htm|website=Rediff.com}}</ref>

It opened with a rating of 13.91 TVR on 25 January and averaged 11.7 in that week, becoming the ninth-most-watched Hindi TV show overall.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web|url=https://www.indiantelevision.com/headlines/y2k5/feb/feb57.htm|title=Kkavyanjali debuts with bumper ratings of 13.91 TVR|website=Indian Television}}</ref> Specifically, in [[Gujarat]] and [[Madhya Pradesh|Madya Pradesh]] it received 21 TVR and 29.4 TVR.<ref name=":2" /> However, the following weeks, the ratings dipped. In May 2006, when the storyline took a leap and with entry of [[Mohammed Iqbal Khan|Iqbal Khan]], it improved quite a bit which was not sufficient to get the expected ratings.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|title=The new and improved Kavyanjali!|url=https://m.rediff.com/movies/2006/may/23kav.htm|website=Rediff}}</ref> It got off-aired in August 2006 because of the conflict between Ekta Kapoor's Balaji Telefilms and [[Star Plus]] due to its change in storyline and time slot from 9:30 to 9:00 pm (IST), which received quite less ratings then in that slot compared to their rival channel Zee TV's [[Saat Phere: Saloni Ka Safar|''Saat Phere:Saloni Ka Safar'']].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bizasialive.com/star-plus-fights-back-with-kkavyanjali-wrap/|title=STAR Plus fights back with ‘Kkavyanjali’ wrap|website=Biz Asia}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.financialexpress.com/archive/being-second-best-isnt-easy/88815/|title=Being second best isnt easy|website=The Financial Express}}</ref>

The show got the awards in both categories i-e Technical and Programming for both Jury and Popularity.<ref>{{cite web|title=''Awards of Kkavyanjali''|url=http://awardsreceivedbyindianserials.weebly.com/kkavyanjalii.html|publisher=weebly.com|access-date=25 October 2012}}</ref> ''[[Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii]]'' had a drop in its ratings in 2005, so [[Ekta Kapoor]] (producer) crossed it over with ''Kkavyanjali'' after which ''Kahaani'' saw a spike in its ratings.<ref name=":0" /> [[Anita Hassanandani]] charged 40 thousand per day at that time. The show was also shot in [[Hong Kong]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.tellychakkar.com/tv/tv-news/sinndoor-follows-kkavyanjali-hong-kong|title=Sinndoor follows Kkavyanjali to Hong Kong}}</ref> [[Pritam]] charged 20 lakhs for its unique music composition.
