Ketki Dave To Reprise Her Role As Daksha In Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi: Source
As excitement builds around the new season of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, another interesting development is making headlines. A source close to the production has revealed that veteran actress Ketki Dave, who played the role of Daksha (Mihir's aunt), might join the cast of the show, reprising her iconic role of Daksha Virani.
Known for her unforgettable catchphrase 'Aara ra ra!" and her impeccable comic timing, Ketki Dave's character was one of the most entertaining members of the Virani family. Her character brought a mix of humour, drama, and spice to the show, making her scenes fan favourites. Her playful gossip, exaggerated expressions, and frequent run-ins with Tulsi were central to the light-hearted moments of the intense family saga.
According to an insider, 'The makers are in talks with Ketki Dave to return in a special appearance or possibly a recurring role in the new season." While nothing has been confirmed officially, the news of her potential return has already thrilled fans who grew up watching her antics in the Virani household.
This move also hints that the makers are keen on weaving in nostalgic elements and original characters into the new storyline. If Ketki Dave makes a comeback, it would be a treat for longtime viewers and could add a perfect balance of nostalgia and freshness to the new season of the show.
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 Smriti 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 decade-long break due to my responsibility as a 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.

Saiyaara Crosses Rs 100 Cr In 4 Days, But THIS Vicky Kaushal Film Hit Century In 3 Days In 2025
Last Updated: Directed by Mohit Suri and starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, Saiyaara collected an estimated Rs 22.50 crore on Day 4. There's no stopping Saiyaara. Even on Monday which is typically a slow day for most releases, the film continued its impressive run at the box office. Directed by Mohit Suri and starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, Saiyaara collected an estimated Rs 22.50 crore on Day 4. This brings its total to Rs 106 crore in just four days, according to The romantic drama released on July 18 and got off to a phenomenal start, collecting Rs 25 crore (approx. $2.9 million) on its opening day in India. According to YRF, nearly 9.75 lakh people flocked to theatres on Day 1, making it the biggest opening day ever for a Hindi film led entirely by debutants. It beat the previous record set by Dhadak, which opened at Rs 8.76 crore in 2018. What makes Saiyaara's feat even more notable is that only one other Hindi film in 2025 has managed to hit the Rs 100 crore mark faster, Chhaava, starring Vicky Kaushal. The period drama, directed by Laxman Utekar, has been one of the biggest success stories of the year. It earned a staggering Rs 49.03 crore on Sunday alone, closing its opening weekend with Rs 121.43 crore in India. While Chhaava and Saiyaara differ vastly in genre and scale, one being a historical epic, the other a contemporary love story, both have made history in their own right. Importantly, Saiyaara's success stands tall on its own merit. It not only marks a breakout moment for Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, but also sets a new benchmark for romantic films at the box office. It outperformed recent romantic hits like Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (Rs 11.1 crore), Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya (Rs 6.7 crore), Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar (Rs 15.73 crore), and Kabir Singh (Rs 20.21 crore) in terms of opening day numbers. The buzz around Saiyaara was strong even before release, with advance bookings crossing Rs 9.39 crore and over 3.8 lakh tickets sold. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh had reported that 1.38 lakh tickets were booked across national chains like PVR INOX and Cinepolis—a record for a debut film in recent memory. With its soaring numbers, stellar word-of-mouth and sold-out shows across metros, Saiyaara is proving to be a cultural and commercial phenomenon. While Chhaava continues to dominate as the highest grosser of 2025, Saiyaara has earned its place in the spotlight, representing a strong, refreshing wave of new talent and storytelling in Bollywood.
