Smriti Irani And Ekta Kapoor To Seek Blessings From Nathdwara Temple Ahead Of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahi Thi Reboot
New Delhi: All eyes are on July 29, 2025, as one of Ekta Kapoor's most loved television shows of all time - Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi is returning with its reboot series. What's even better is that the OG cast is returning, too. Most importantly, Smriti Irani and Amar Upadhyay as Tulsi and Mihir. As per reports, Ekta Kapoor and Smriti Irani are all set to seek blessings for their upcoming show at Nathdwara Temple near Udaipur, Rajasthan, on July 27, 2025. It is one of the oldest and most famous temples dedicated to Lord Krishna. Over 300 years old, this temple is a spiritual haven for devotees from the Pushtimarg tradition. Background A teaser for the upcoming sequel has already been released, featuring Smriti Irani as Tulsi, taking viewers through the iconic Virani house in Shanti Niketan. Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 will also mark the return of several original cast members, including Amar Upadhyay as Mihir Virani, Hiten Tejwani as Karan Virani and Gauri Pradhan as Nandini Virani.

Smriti Irani On How Kyunki Redefined Television The show originally aired in a late-night 10:30 pm slot, which was considered an off-peak time. However, it soon became a trendsetter. "From 2000 to 2008, our team redefined television in a completely new way. Back then, no one used to watch TV at 10:30 p.m. Women producing television series weren't common, and it was also rare for female actors to be the central narrators and the core focus of any show. Establishing all these things was a landmark in itself, a unique chapter of our lives," Smriti Irani said. Smriti also spoke about how the success of the show transformed the lives of those who worked on it. "I still remember when we first started working on the show; we were about 120-150 people. None of us owned a house or a car. We all laid the financial foundation of our lives through Kyunki. People may watch us on screen, but many don't realise how many households keep their stoves burning simply because someone switches on the television." In A Nutshell Tulsi Virani, aka Smriti Irani and Kyunki's producer Ekta Kapoor are headed to Nathdwara Temple in Rajasthan to seek blessings ahead of the premiere of the Reboot series. They will visit the temple on July 27, 2025.

New Delhi: Fans of the popular 2000 daily soap Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi are elated with the show returning after 25 years. Ekta Kapoor is all set to once again make families come together and enjoy a show as iconic as Kyunki, with a limited episode reboot series. Ahead of the premiere on July 29, 2025, Amar Upadhyay spoke to NDTV about what made it so easy to work with Smriti Irani. He also spoke about the joy of connecting again with his co-star and the camaraderie on the sets of the upcoming reboot series. What's Happening The most amazing factor of Ekta Kapoor's upcoming Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi Reboot series is that Smriti Irani and Amar Upadhyay, as Tulsi and Mihir Virani, will be reprising their iconic roles. They became household names with their onscreen portrayals. Smriti Irani and Amar Upadhyay will also be joined by a major portion of the OG cast from the popular show. Speaking of how his easy friendship with Smriti Irani transformed on screen, Amar Upadhyay told NDTV, "When two people know each other and are friends, and have worked in a very successful show together, it becomes easier. We, as Mihir and Tulsi, have built that show as actors, along with the rest of the cast. We are still missed and remembered today because of that. That's why we are returning." He added, "We were so comfortable as actors and friends on sets together. We used to laugh a lot while the cameras weren't rolling. You can see some clippings on social media today where we are both seen laughing, but that's happening when we are not shooting any scene. That's the reason why we came across as the believable, perfect couple on screen." Speaking of how it is to collaborate with Smriti Irani all these years later, and the changes he observes, Amar Upadhyay reveals, "Tulsi is a very strong personality of television. Today she's a very big politician. She's handled so many ministries. But I never feel she's such a big politician. I always felt that she was my co-star. And when we met on set this time, I think we met as co-stars more than anything else. So it feels the same."
