Ektaa Kapoor is bringing Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi back to TV as a limited series. The iconic show will return after 25 years, with Smriti Irani reprising her role as Tulsi Virani. The show made waves when it first aired. However, Ektaa initially hesitated to revisit the series. She feared disturbing the nostalgic memories fans held dear.
In a heartfelt Instagram post titled WHY KYUNKI, WHY NOW?, Ektaa shared her reasons. She admitted that her first reaction was a firm “no.” She feared disrupting nostalgia. “You can never compete with nostalgia,” she said. But Ektaa soon realized that the time was right to bring back the show’s legacy.
Television has changed. OTT platforms now dominate. Audiences consume content in new ways. Ektaa worried if Kyunki could still capture the same magic. But she found that the show’s true legacy wasn’t about high TRPs.
Kyunki gave a voice to women in Indian homes. The show sparked important conversations. Topics like domestic abuse, marital rape, and euthanasia came to the forefront. These issues were never openly discussed on television before. Ektaa realized this was the true legacy of the show. It wasn’t just about high ratings.
Ektaa is determined to revive that impact. The limited series will focus on important issues. Parenting, control vs. concern, and other real-life challenges will be explored. Ektaa wants to address topics that people shy away from today. She promises fresh storytelling without gimmicks just real, relatable stories.
