After a 25-year break, Ekta Kapoor’s classic daily soap, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, has made its grand return, sparking excitement and debate among fans.
The Much-Anticipated Comeback
The iconic show, which dominated Indian television ratings for years, is back with a reboot version. After its initial run captivated audiences, its return has been eagerly awaited by a new generation and loyal viewers alike.
The original series, produced by Ekta Kapoor’s Balaji Telefilms, created a benchmark in Indian television history. Its return promises to bring back the familiar drama and family values, albeit with a modern twist.
Is Mandira Bedi Making a Comeback?
One of the biggest rumors circulating since the premiere of the new season is the potential return of Mandira Bedi. She played Dr. Mandira Kapadia in the first season, a character who brought significant conflict to the Virani family’s lives.
Sources suggest Mandira Bedi is expected to make her television comeback with the show. However, it’s not yet clear if she will reprise her original role or appear as a new character. Fans are eagerly awaiting an official confirmation from the actress or the show’s makers.
Additionally, Mouni Roy and Pulkit Samrat, who famously portrayed Krishna Tulsi and Lakshya in the original series, are also rumored to make brief appearances in the reboot, delighting long-time fans.
Fan Reactions: Highs and Lows
The third episode of the new season has already set social media abuzz. Many viewers expressed excitement over seeing Tulsi (Smriti Irani) in her “angry” avatar, especially after Angad’s arrest, a callback to her strong-willed original character.
Fans have also speculated about the plot, with one comment suggesting, “Adopted kids Tulsi Mihir ki zindagi jhand krne ke liye hai..Gotcha,” humorously implying why Tulsi and Mihir have Gen-Z children, who are now causing drama.
However, not all reactions have been positive. Some fans expressed disappointment over the limited cameo roles of Hiten Tejwani (Karan Virani) and Gauri Pradhan (Nandini Virani). Viewers hoped for a more substantial storyline involving them as parents with Gen-Z kids, feeling their brief appearance was a missed opportunity.
Familiar Faces Return
The reboot brings back several beloved actors from the original series, alongside Smriti Irani as Tulsi Virani and Amar Upadhyay as Mihir Virani. This includes Hiten Tejwani, Gauri Pradhan, Sandeep Baswana, Shilpa Agnihotri, and Rakshanda Khan, ensuring a strong connection to the show’s rich legacy.
