Ever since Ekta Kapoor announced the revival of the cult-classic Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, fans have been eagerly awaiting its return. The show marked its 25th anniversary on July 3, and the promo for the new season was initially scheduled to release on the same day. However, due to unforeseen delays and creative challenges, both the promo and the season launch were postponed. Now, Ekta Kapoor has finally unveiled the first glimpse of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2, featuring Smriti Irani and Amar Upadhyay reprising their iconic roles as Tulsi and Mihir Virani.
The first promo features a family of four reminiscing about Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi while dining at a restaurant. The scene then transitions to Smriti Irani's iconic character, Tulsi, watering a tulsi plant at home. She then announces that the beloved show is finally making its return after 25 years.
The makers shared the video with the caption, 'Kya aap abhi bhi vishwaas nahi kar paa rahe? 25 saal ke baad, Tulsi Virani laut rahi hai, ek nayi kahaani ke saath! #KyunkiSaasBhiKabhiBahuThi ek baar phir taayaar hai har ghar ka hissa bann ne. Kya aap bhi taiyaar ho? Dekhiye #KyunkiSaasBhiKabhiBahuThi, 29th July se, raat 10:30 baje, sirf StarPlus par aur kabhi bhi JioHotstar par.'
While the new season Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi aims to retain the charm of the original, Ekta Kapoor reportedly plans to infuse the storyline with a modern sensibility. Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 is expected to resonate with younger audiences as well.

Anita Hassanandani Excited For 'Kyunki' Reboot: 'Hope TV Era Comes Back'

Last Updated: Anita Hassanandani is all praises for Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi reboot starring Smriti Irani. With the recently released announcement video of the Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi reboot, nostalgia is hitting Indian households hard. The iconic daily soap, which once redefined Indian television, is returning – this time with a modern-day spin and the original Tulsi herself, Smriti Irani. And it isn't just fans who are excited. Anita Hassanandani, a household name in Indian TV herself, is just as thrilled. 'Oh, it's amazing," Anita tells News18 Showsha exclusively, talking about the reboot. 'It's looking bigger, grander, more fabulous. Smriti Irani is back again. I hope that along with the show, the era of TV also comes back. When Kyunki was released, it was such a big hit. I mean, Ekta is a genius. I wish she can bring back the charm which is missing." For Anita, who has been part of Ekta Kapoor's television universe for years, from Kkavyanjali to Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, the love for television runs deep. 'I just love TV. I love working in TV. It has given so many hopes, so much that I can't tell you. It has made so many people's homes. So I hope many TV shows are made like this, remakes are made, and TV again flourishes." But even as the nostalgia for early 2000s TV is back, many actors today feel burnt out by the demanding nature of television schedules. Does Anita share that view? 'I don't think they work beyond 12 hours. It's not allowed now," she explains matter-of-factly. 'According to the rules, you work 12 hours. And I am very comfortable with that. In fact, I come from that era where there was more shooting than that! Of course, if it becomes 10 hours, nothing like it. But there are budget constraints, so everybody has to work the extra hour. Like I said, TV is not the same. And I just hope that that era comes back. Then it will be more fun to work." Now, the actress is set to embark on a fresh new journey. Anita will soon be seen in Chhoriyaan Chali Gaon, an upcoming reality show that breaks away from glam and glitz, featuring celebrity women adapting to village life. The show will soon premiere on ZeeTV. First Published:
