Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2's Show Timings
Revealing the hurdles Kyuki 2 faced during its early days, including scepticism and an unfavourable time slot, she told Times Now, 'Woh story jise raat ke bohot hi ajeeb o gareeb slot main dhakela gaya kyunki ek mahila producer ek story ko lekar bohot utsahit thi (That story was aired at a very odd hour because a female producer was passionately backing it)," she recalled. 'Ek bohot bada show 9 baje aane wala tha Star Plus pe aur us show aur humare beech faasla bohot tha (Star Plus had a major show lined up for the 9 PM prime time slot. There was a massive gap between the prime-time show and ours)," she added.
Smriti Irani also reflected on the legacy of Kyunki and her journey in the entertainment industry. 'Mujhe nahi lagta ki aap ise reinvention keh sakte hai; ye ek story ki retelling ho sakti hai. Woh story ho aaj se 25 saal pehle television par kahi gayi (I don't think you can call it reinvention. It's a retelling of a story that was told on television 25 years ago)," she said.
Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 'Scripted History'
Though the show had its own share of challenges, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi broke records and became a defining chapter in Indian television history. Smriti expressed, 'Humare show ne itihaas racha television ke liye. Log kehte hai history doesn't repeat itself; well, I guess we have defeated that. Itihaas humne dohraya (Our show created history. People often say history doesn't repeat itself, but I guess we proved that wrong. We repeated history)."
Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2: Star Cast And Episodes
The new season of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi premiered on small screens on Star Plus on July 29 at 10:30 pm.

Mouni Roy: I do feel a divine connection with Krishna and Bhagavad Gita
For Mouni Roy, Krishna Janmashtami is more than a festival as the actor feels an unspoken bond that connects her and Lord Krishna. Such strong has been her faith in him that the actor took a special class to study the scripture and shares how it changed her as a person. 'Studying the Bhagavad Gita was a transformative experience for me. It deepened not just my understanding of Lord Krishna's teachings, but also helped me reflect on life with more clarity and calm. Now, I don't just read the Gita. I try to live it, even when life tests me the most,' she says. Mouni Roy(Photo: Instagram) Mouni Roy reflects on Krishna Janmashtami celebrations in her family when she was a child. 'Growing up, Janmashtami was a very festive occasion at home. My family would decorate the puja room beautifully. We'd do Krishna abhishekam, sing bhajans, and stay up till midnight for Lord Krishna's janma aarti,' she shares, adding, 'Over the years, the celebrations have become quieter, more introspective. While I may not always be home with family now, I make it a point to read some chapters from the Bhagavad Gita and take some time out to chant his mantra. The external rituals may have changed, but the devotion remains the same.' Remembering her memories of Janmashtami, Mouni says, 'I have many fond memories, but what I treasure most is the joy of celebrating together as a family, decorating the puja space, singing bhajans, and staying up till midnight for the aarti. Those moments of togetherness and devotion are what make the festival truly special for me.' The actor adds, 'For me, the most special part is the spirit of devotion that surrounds the day, from the music and prayers to the sense of peace it brings. This year, I plan to keep it simple, with a puja and some quiet time to reflect.' Coincidentally, Mouni's acting journey began with a character that had his name in it, and she calls it a divine intervention. 'Yes, that's something I've often thought about. My first TV role was Krishna Tulsi in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, and I've always felt it was more than just a coincidence. That name, that role, in a way marked the beginning of my artistic journey. So, I do feel a divine connection with him and I'm deeply grateful for it,' she says.

Janhvi Kapoor's Rs 65 Crore Bandra Duplex Is An Oasis Of Luxury And Legacy
Located in Mumbai's posh Pali Hill, Janhvi Kapoor's duplex is also shared by her sister Khushi Kapoor and her father Boney Kapoor. If homes could weave tales, Janhvi Kapoor's lavish Bandra duplex would narrate a chronicle of spirited soirées, sunlit brunches, and evenings filled with sisterly laughter. Nestled in the upscale lanes of Pali Hill, this Rs 65 crore residence is more than just prime real estate. It is a blend of architectural elegance and personal warmth, spread across 8,669 square feet. With soaring glass walls framing the Mumbai skyline, a private green oasis, and art that stops you mid-step, the home perfectly reflects Janhvi's dual identity: a rising Bollywood star rooted in family legacy. The address sits in the Kubelisque Building in Pali Hill. Purchased in 2022, shortly after Janhvi Kapoor sold her Juhu triplex to Rajkummar Rao, the duplex occupies the first and second floors, offering both privacy and sweeping views of Bandra's leafy pockets. Here, exclusivity isn't about grandeur alone – it's about balance between community, comfort, and quiet luxury. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ᴋʜᴜsʜɪ ᴋᴀᴘᴏᴏʀ (@khushikapoor) The interiors strike a chord between modern sleekness and sentimental charm. The living room is airy and dramatic with white walls, gilded accents, and a spiral staircase that looks straight out of a fashion editorial. Filmmaker Farah Khan, after touring the home for her YouTube series, described it as 'one of the warmest celebrity homes" she had ever visited. Art and artefacts carry the soul of the house, many of them cherished tributes to Sridevi, making the space more than just glamorous décor. Corners That Tell Stories Bedrooms: Khushi Kapoor's room is a chic study in monochrome minimalism, softened with curated bags and accessories. Janhvi's bedroom leans into a gentler palette with eggshell walls, potted greenery, and an entire wall adorned with family portraits and pictures of her late mother. Dining Room: Designed for conversation and grandeur, the dining space features a long wooden table, plush upholstered chairs in tonal contrast, and ornate chandeliers. It's easy to imagine dinners stretching into storytelling marathons. Corridors & Gardens: The hallways could double as a gallery, lined with photographs and artwork. Outdoors, the private garden and pool offer both privacy and Instagram-perfect corners – whether for a quiet dip or a barbecue night. Leisure Meets Luxury Beyond the glamour of interiors, the home balances lifestyle needs. A shaded pool corner doubles as an entertainment hub, while the gym, flooded with natural light, removes excuses for skipping workouts. More Than Just a Showpiece What sets this duplex apart is its intimacy. Despite its scale and luxe finishes, the home carries a lived-in feel with warm lighting, cosy corners, and personal memorabilia. It's not merely a statement address; it's a family space imbued with memory, comfort, and a quiet sense of belonging. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
