About Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi

Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi is one of the most influential and successful Indian soap operas of all time. Produced by Ekta Kapoor under Balaji Telefilms, the show aired on Star Plus from 3 July 2000 to 6 November 2008, spanning over 1,800 episodes.

The beloved show is finally set to make its long-awaited comeback, with Smriti Irani reprising her role as Tulsi and Amar Upadhyay returning as Mihir. Although the show was initially scheduled to premiere on July 3, production hit a slight delay.

Smriti used her Instagram profile to mark the show's 25th anniversary a few days ago. She shared a photo with a letter that said, "25 years ago, a story entered Indian homes and quietly became part of countless lives. Because Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi was more than just a television program; it was a ceremony, a memory, and an emotion. A moment when families stopped everything to sit together, weep, laugh, and pray. Thank you to everyone who included Tulsi in their family. This trip wasn't just mine. It belonged to us. And it will continue to be so forever.

The tale centered on Tulsi (Smriti), the ideal daughter-in-law, who was the daughter of a pandit and the wife of Govardhan Virani's (Amar Upadhyay/ Ronit Roy) grandson. Govardhan Virani was a business magnate. Because it had double-digit TRPs for six years, Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi was the most popular series during its time. For both Smriti and Ektaa, it represented a shift.
