Kyunki...turns 25: Smriti Irani, Amar Upadhayay, Ektaa Kapoor get nostalgic
Amar Upadhyay expressed, "Twenty-five years ago, we began a journey that was more than just a show it was a mirror to millions of households, a reflection of traditions, love, trials, and the changing face of Indian families. Being a part of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi wasn't just a role it was a responsibility, a privilege, and a turning point not just for me, but for everyone who lived and breathed this world with us. It changed our lives, rewrote television history, and connected generations. Even today, its echoes live on in how we see relationships, resilience, and reinvention."He further added, "Kyunki... some stories aren't just watched, they are lived. Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi wasn't just a show it was an era. A movement. A mirror to Indian families. And being Mihir meant becoming a part of people's daily routines, their emotions, their dinner conversations. Even today, when someone calls me 'Mihir,' there's a warmth and familiarity in it like a long-lost family member greeting you after years. That's the kind of love you can't manufacture it can only be lived."With unforgettable characters, powerful emotions, and twists that became national talking points, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi became more than just a daily soap it became a ritual. Under Ekta Kapoor's leadership, Balaji Telefilms redefined storytelling and connected with millions across the country. As nostalgia takes over and memories of Shantiniketan resurface, whispers of the show's return grow stronger. But will the entire Virani family be back? That question remains a mystery.Regarded as one of the most successful shows on Indian television, the show revolved around the ideal daughter-in-law Tulsi Virani (played by Smriti Irani), her relationship with her husband Mihir Virani (played by Amar Upadhyay) and their kids. The show aired from 2000 to 2008 on television and remained number 1 on the ratings charts for seven years.- EndsMust Watch
