For years, Indian television had its golden era and at the heart of it was Ektaa Kapoor’s Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. A show that wasn’t just watched but lived by millions. The title track was more than just an intro; it was a signal for families to gather, sip their evening tea and brace themselves for the drama. Now, nostalgia is about to hit with full force as Ektaa Kapoor gears up to bring back this legendary show – this time, with a fresh take but the same soul. And the best part? The OGs are returning! Smriti Irani and Amar Upadhyay are all set to step back into the roles that made them household names.
The classic daily soap, which originally ran from 2000 to 2008, is making a grand return. Pinkvilla reports that this reboot will be a limited series, keeping the essence of the original but with a crisp narrative suited for today’s audience. The team has been working relentlessly behind the scenes, keeping every little detail under tight wraps. With Ektaa Kapoor at the helm, this comeback is bound to be a must-watch.
Smriti Irani, who played Tulsi Virani, is leaving no stone unturned in preparing for her return. The former Minister of Women and Child Development is reportedly dedicating significant time to fitness and character prep, ensuring that her comeback is as impactful as her first stint. And here’s a treat for the loyal fans – the opening shot will remain the same. Tulsi, standing at the grand entrance of the Virani house, introducing the family just like she did decades ago. And yes, the location? The very same one where the magic happened all those years ago.
Another interesting tidbit: Amar Upadhyay’s exit from the ongoing show Doree wasn’t random. Pinkvilla also informs that he stepped away precisely to make space for his return as Mihir. While his original run in the show was shorter than expected, his chemistry with Smriti Irani remains one of television’s most cherished pairings.
Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi isn’t just another daily soap. It’s an emotion, a cultural milestone that defined an entire generation of viewers. The official announcement of its return is expected in June 2025, and anticipation is already sky-high.
