Ekta Kapoor’s iconic show, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, is making a highly anticipated comeback after 25 years, with new promos teasing exciting developments.
The Much-Awaited Return
Get ready for a blast from the past! Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 is set to premiere very soon, bringing back the beloved Virani family to our screens. This highly anticipated sequel marks a significant return for one of Indian television’s most iconic daily soaps.
A major highlight of the new season is the return of Smriti Irani, who will once again grace the screen as the legendary Tulsi Virani. Her reprisal of the role has already generated immense excitement among long-time fans.
Teasing Secrets from Shanti Niketan
To build anticipation, the makers have released a new behind-the-scenes (BTS) video that’s piquing curiosity without giving too much away. The promo cleverly connects to the original series, tapping into a strong sense of nostalgia.
In the teaser, Hiten Tejwani, who plays Karan Virani, hints at major changes. “Iss baar Shanti Niketan mein bahut kuch alag hona wala hai,” he reveals, suggesting that viewers can expect fresh twists.
His real-life and on-screen wife, Gauri Pradhan, who portrays Nandini Virani, adds to the mystery. She wonders if their “favourite dining table spot” from the first part will still be there, a nod to the show’s memorable settings.
Shagun Sharma, one of the new additions to the cast, also chimes in. She shares that “Tulsi ke paudhe ki ehmiyat bahut zyada hai,” indicating the symbolic Tulsi plant will retain its importance, just like in the original series.
The cast collectively urges viewers to tune in on July 29 to uncover all the answers and secrets hidden within the new season.
Addressing the Anupamaa Comparisons
Since the announcement of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2, social media has been buzzing with comparisons to Rupali Ganguly’s hit show Anupamaa. Hiten Tejwani recently addressed these comparisons with a thoughtful response.
Speaking to Telly Masal, Tejwani stated, “Ab hum aa rahe hain, humein aane toh dijiye. Fir baad mein aap log hi decide karenge kon kya hai.” He emphasized that it’s up to the audience to decide which show they prefer, asserting that the cast isn’t there to put anyone down.
He highlighted that the new season is primarily driven by nostalgia. “Hum log kisi ko neecha dikhaane ya kuch niche karne uske liye nahi aa rahe hain. Ek nostalgia hai,” he explained. He believes that both the makers and Ekta Kapoor wanted to bring something back that resonates with today’s times while honoring the past.
