The return of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi has already become one of the most talked-about television comebacks. The reboot will premiere on July 29 at 10:30 pm on Star Plus and will stream digitally on JioCinema.
Recently, there were speculations that Irani might be taking a break from politics to focus on the show. However, the actor-politician responded on X, 'No sabbatical. Have worked both in media and politics for 25 years with only a decadal break due to my responsibility as Cabinet Minister. Never compromised on my sangathan responsibilities, never will."
Joining Irani in the reboot is Amar Upadhyay, who reprises his role as Mihir Virani. Their reunion has added to the anticipation of loyal fans who followed their dramatic love story decades ago.

Anupamaa Actress Adrija Roy On Pay Disparity: ‘Women Work Equally Hard'
She expressed that equal rights in the sector are difficult to attain, but emphasised the need to speak up for one's rights. Anupamaa, starring Rupali Ganguly, Adrija Roy and Shivam Khajuria, remains one of Indian television's most popular shows. Despite dominating the TRP charts for a long period, the show has suddenly slid to second place, but Adrija remains hopeful that the show will continue to do well. In the latest, while she spoke at length about rankings, the actress also discussed the pay parity that still exists in the entertainment industry. In an interview with Pinkvilla, Adrija Roy was asked about her thoughts on male actors being paid more than female protagonists. Adrija replied, saying, 'It's disheartening that in 2025, we still need to talk about this. I do feel women work equally hard, sometimes even more, considering how emotionally intense many of our roles are." She expressed that equal rights in the sector are difficult to attain, but emphasised the need to speak up for one's rights. Adrija plays Anupama's (Rupali Ganguly) daughter. The actress stars opposite Shivam Khajuria, who plays Prem. The actress gets praised for her strong performance on the show. Her on-screen chemistry with Shivam has generated a large fan base. Moreover, speaking about the drop in the show's TRP, the actress said, 'Honestly, TRPs are such a mystery sometimes. Even when we feel we're giving our best and the story is strong, there can be weeks when the numbers just don't reflect that. I think audiences are evolving and their preferences keep changing. Maybe it's also seasonal, or something new caught their attention temporarily. But I truly believe in our team and the story we're telling—it still has a lot of heart." Adrija Roy started her career in a number of Bengali television shows before moving to Hindi television. Adrija made her Hindi debut with the show Durga Aur Charu, in which she portrayed the lead. Her stint on Imlie got her a lot of fame. Following Imlie's conclusion, Adrija was cast to portray the female protagonist in Kundali Bhagya. Initially, Alisha Parveen played Raahi in Anupamaa. Adrija replaced her later on in the show. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.
