It’s official. The legendary show Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi is coming back on air starting July 19 at 10:30 PM. After 25 years, Indian television is about to relive one of its most iconic serials. The nostalgia is real, and fans across generations are excited.
But even the biggest fans may not know these rare behind-the-scenes facts.
Believe it or not, the show was first going to be called ‘Amma’. But Tulsi’s strong role changed the narrative. The makers renamed it to reflect the emotional power of a daughter-in-law who becomes a mother-in-law.
Tulsi’s character came from Harikishan Mehta’s book ‘Jad Chetan’. This deep connection gave her role the emotional depth that viewers loved.
The role of Mihir Virani was first offered to Cezanne Khan, who later played Anurag in Kasautii Zindagii Kay. Amar wasn’t the original choice but he became unforgettable.
Yes, the glamorous Mouni Roy started her acting career in Kyunki. She once dreamed of being a journalist but found her destiny on this show.
Ekta once said Kyunki didn’t just change TV. It changed her life. This was her first mega-hit and made her a household name.
Sudha Shivpuri’s role as Ba was so loved that families began calling their grandmothers “Ba” in real life. That’s cultural impact.
One director said Smriti Irani wasn’t right for the role. He thought the show would flop. History proved otherwise.
When Mihir died on the show, fans protested outside Balaji Telefilms. Hundreds demanded his return and he came back. It was a TV first.
Apra Mehta, who played Savita (Tulsi’s saas), married the same man twice in real life. The reason? The first wedding wasn’t grand enough!
The show was remade in Tamil and Telugu, and dubbed in Sinhalese and Dari (Afghani), proving its pan-Asian dominance.
