The legacy of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi remains strong as the show continues to shape Indian television. However, recent developments have stirred the pot, especially with the announcement of a new reboot.
Smriti Irani, who famously portrayed Tulsi Virani, has made it clear that she is not involved in any spin-off or new adaptations of the show. “May want to check PR content with authorities that have IP rights. I am not associated with any other show except Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi,” she stated.
Star Plus is reportedly developing a new series titled Kyunki Rishton Ke Bhi Roop Badalte Hain, which aims to capture the essence of the original while introducing fresh narratives. The original show aired from 2000 to 2008 and became one of Indian television’s most iconic series.
The reboot, which aired in 2025, consists of a limited series of 150 episodes. This new iteration is available on Star Plus and streams on JioHotstar, making it accessible to a wider audience.
Irani’s absence from the reboot has raised eyebrows, especially given her central role in the original. She emphasized, “No spin-off program is authorised for my engagement legally, which entitles use of my image and/or personality. Do check so that viewers are not misinformed.” This statement underscores the importance of clarity regarding her involvement.
As the reboot unfolds, fans are eager to see how the new series will honor the legacy of the original while carving out its own identity. The anticipation is palpable, but details remain unconfirmed about the specific storyline and character arcs.
With the original created by Ektaa Kapoor, the reboot aims to capture the same magic that made the first series a household name. The cultural impact of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi continues to resonate, influencing new generations of viewers.
As developments unfold, the television landscape may see further adaptations or spin-offs, but for now, the focus remains on the new series and its reception among audiences.
