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)."
