The iconic Indian soap opera, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, has made a grand return after 25 years with its second season, immediately stirring up a wave of nostalgia and excitement among fans.
A Grand Return for a TV Legend
Ekta Kapoor’s beloved show, “Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2,” premiered recently on Star Plus, bringing back the cherished world of the Virani family. The first episode instantly transported viewers back in time, evoking strong emotions and rekindling memories of the original series.
Many fans celebrated the return of Mihir and Tulsi’s beloved on-screen chemistry. The familiar title track, featuring Tulsi chanting the Gayatri mantra, also struck a chord, reminding viewers why the show was such a phenomenon.
Celebrating 38 Years of Love and Family
The premiere episode opened with Tulsi and Mihir celebrating their 38th wedding anniversary, setting a heartwarming tone. Preparations for a grand party were underway, with Tulsi, true to her character, meticulously managing the household and cooking for her children.
Familiar faces like Karan and Nandini, played by Hiten Tejwani and Gauri Pradhan, also made an appearance, having returned from abroad for the family celebration. A particularly touching moment saw Mihir get down on one knee to gift Tulsi a car, showcasing their enduring bond.
New Twists and Emerging Conflicts
While the celebrations unfolded, the episode cleverly hinted at underlying tensions within the Virani household. Kamalika Guha Thakurta enters as Gayatri, a character with a clear vendetta against Mihir and Tulsi.
Gayatri resents how Mihir has taken control of the family business and how Tulsi dominates the household. She is seen discussing with her son, Hemant (Shakti Anand), how Mihir has sidelined him, sending him to Delhi to practice law.
The plot thickens with Gayatri predicting betrayal from the younger generation. Shagun is depicted having a secret affair, while Rohit Suchanti’s character is portrayed as a careless man-child. The episode concluded dramatically with a storm hitting Shanti Niketan, as Tulsi sought protection for her family from impending evil.
Fans React with Overwhelming Nostalgia
The show’s comeback sparked an outpouring of reactions online. Many viewers on X (formerly Twitter) expressed how the title track brought tears to their eyes, recalling cherished memories and praising the iconic duo of Savita and Tulsi.
One fan lauded the show, stating, “Some things don’t age… they become LEGENDS.” Another viewer shared, “Just completed the 1st episode and it’s pure nostalgia… I was 3 years old when it aired on TV back in 2000, now I am 28 and a fully grown man, and I am so happy to watch it again.”
However, not all reactions were entirely positive. A small segment of the audience found certain scenes, like Savita’s spirit appearing, overly dramatic. Some also commented on the perceived age difference between Tulsi and Mihir, feeling they didn’t quite fit together as before.
What to Expect Next for the Viranis
Amar Upadhyay, who plays Mihir, shared his excitement about the show’s renewed appeal, even for Gen-Z audiences. He believes the new season will explain “what the fuss was all about” to a new generation, while bringing back “the same old feeling, now with a fresh twist” for loyal fans.
The new season will reportedly focus on the differences between the older and younger generations. While retaining its traditional values, the narrative has been modernized. Upadhyay also revealed that “Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2” is planned as a finite series, expected to run for approximately 10 months to a year.
- Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi returns after 25 years with a second season.
- The first episode celebrates Mihir and Tulsi’s 38th wedding anniversary.
- New villain Gayatri (Kamalika Guha Thakurta) introduces conflict and hints at generational betrayal.
- Fans largely reacted with nostalgia, praising the title track and Mihir-Tulsi chemistry.
- The show will explore generational differences with a modern twist and is set to be a finite series.
With a mix of beloved returning cast members like Ketki Dave and Shakti Anand, alongside new faces like Rohit Suchanti, the Virani family saga promises a blend of cherished memories and new drama for its dedicated fanbase.
