Television history is about to witness a nostalgic revival as Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi returns to the small screen on July 29. Introduced by Ektaa Kapoor 25 years ago, the iconic soap opera holds a special place in the hearts of Indian viewers. With the original cast including Smriti Irani, Amar Upadhyay, Hiten Tejwani, and Gauri Pradhan returning, along with a new generation of the Virani family, excitement is at an all-time high.
Recently, a behind-the-scenes video featuring Amar as Mihir Virani, Hiten as Karan Virani, and Gauri as Nandini Virani went viral, rekindling memories for longtime fans. As buzz around the comeback intensified, netizens began drawing comparisons between Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi and the current television sensation, Anupamaa.
Reacting to the comparisons, Hiten Tejwani told Telly Masala, “Ab hum aa rahe hain, humein aane toh dijiye. Fir baad mein aap log hi decide karenge kon kya hai… Fans hain, sab woh hi decide karte hain.” He further shared, “Hum log kisi ko neecha dikhane ya kuch niche karne uske liye nahi aa rahe hain. Ek nostalgia hai. I am sure makers bhi chahte the Ektaa ma’am bhi ki kuch laaye aur aaj ke time ki baate kar paaye.”
The show also stars Rohit Suchanti, Aman Gandhi, and Shagun Sharma as Mihir and Tulsi’s children. With the premiere just days away, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi is ready to recreate its magic for a new generation.
