After years of fan speculation and anticipation, television czarina Ekta Kapoor has officially announced the return of one of Indian television's most cherished shows—Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. As the original series recently celebrated its 25th anniversary on July 3, excitement reached a fever pitch. Although the makers had originally planned to drop the first promotional teaser on that milestone day, a few unexpected setbacks and creative hurdles led to a delay in the launch of both the teaser and the show’s premiere.
However, the wait has finally ended. Ekta Kapoor has now released the much-awaited first look of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2, marking a nostalgic moment for long-time viewers. The new season will see the return of beloved stars Smriti Irani and Amar Upadhyay in their legendary roles as Tulsi and Mihir Virani.
A Nostalgic Glimpse Into The Past
The newly released promo video opens with a touching moment: a family of four is shown sharing memories of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi while enjoying a meal at a restaurant. Their conversation stirs warm memories, and the screen then shifts to Tulsi—played by Smriti Irani—at home, gently watering a tulsi plant. She solemnly reveals the show’s long-awaited return after a gap of 25 years, bringing a sense of full-circle closure to fans of the original saga.
The promotional clip was shared online by the makers with an emotionally stirring caption that spoke of Tulsi Virani’s return and the series’ transformation into a new story while retaining its old emotional depth. The official announcement confirmed the show’s airing schedule: the new chapter will premiere on Star Plus starting July 29 at 10:30 PM, and will also be available for streaming on JioCinema (formerly JioHotstar).
A Familiar Essence With A Contemporary Touch
While the second installment intends to stay true to the essence of the original, Ekta Kapoor is reportedly aiming to bring in a more contemporary tone to the storyline. Her vision is to make the show appealing not just to its loyal audience from the early 2000s, but also to today’s younger viewers who consume stories differently. The characters and narratives are expected to reflect more current themes, even as they continue to explore timeless emotions like love, family, and tradition.
Backstage Preparations And Star Comebacks
Just last week, the cast and crew filmed the theme song at a studio in Vasai, with many of the original team members collaborating on the project. Today, Smriti Irani’s updated look as Tulsi was officially revealed to the public, bringing waves of excitement among fans who grew up watching her.
Though the journey toward the show’s reboot included its fair share of creative challenges during production, the makers have now resolved initial hurdles, and filming is proceeding as planned. In addition to Smriti Irani and Amar Upadhyay, actors Hiten Tejwani and Gauri Pradhan have also joined the ensemble cast, further cementing this revival as a grand reunion of television’s golden era.
With the launch just weeks away, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 is set to bring back the glory of Indian soap operas, this time with a fresh, modern soul.
Where Can You Watch Old Episodes?
The original run of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi spanned more than 1,500 episodes, making it one of Indian television’s longest-running and most iconic shows. Viewers can still revisit the classic series, featuring memorable performances by Smriti Irani and Amar Upadhyay, on JioHotstar. The show is divided into 38 seasons, each comprising a significant number of episodes that chronicle the emotional highs and lows of the Virani family.
