Rohit Roy On Not Playing Mihir In Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2: 'The World Has Changed…'
Ronit Roy confirms he won't return as Mihir in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi Season 2.
Actor Ronit Roy has finally addressed the speculation around his return as Mihir in the new season of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. The much-awaited reboot of the iconic daily soap has fans buzzing, but the original Mihir won't be part of it.
While talking to Etimes TV, Ronit confirmed the news and shared his feelings about the show's comeback. 'I'm happy that they decided to bring back Kyunki. And unfortunately, it didn't work out for me. But of course, Kyunki is a show that has been very close to my heart," he said.
Ronit recalled spending eight years with the show and sent his best wishes to the new team. He also opened up about whether he'd take on another long-format television show in the future.
'I'm not averse to doing a long show or being on television for a longer time. However, as I mentioned, there is still much to be desired on television. 25 years from when I began. And the world has changed. Some need to be fixed regarding television. So, once that happens, I will likely be back. Till such time, I'm happy where I am."
Currently, Ronit is playing King Someshwar in Chakravarti Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan. Over his career, he has starred in several hit shows including Kasautii Zindagii Kay, Kasamh Se, and Itna Karo Na Mujhe Pyaar, earning praise for his powerful performances both on television and in films.
After years of speculation and anticipation, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi is finally making a grand return — and fans of the iconic show have reason to celebrate. Ektaa Kapoor's show is counted among one of the most successful Indian soap operas of all time. Some old cast of the series have also been reprising their roles after almost 17 years since the last episode of season 1 was aired. Produced under the banner of Balaji Telefilms, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi aired on Star Plus from July 3, 2000, to November 6, 2008.

Ram Kapoor says it's easier for overweight women to succeed, calls Smriti Irani 'huge'; internet collectively facepalms
Actor Ram Kapoor has stirred the hornet's nest yet again. The actor, who has been in the news for all the wrong reasons lately, claimed that overweight women have an advantage over overweight men in showbiz in a new interview. The comments received flak on social media, with many wondering if the actor is trying to get cancelled. Ram Kapoor made some comments on Smriti Irani's weight in a recent interview. Ram Kapoor on actors' weight and success In an interaction with Humans of Bombay, Ram Kapoor addressed the weight and appearance of actors on screen. Mentioning Smriti Irani, he said, "She was my size as a woman and probably more successful than me. It's just that she left earlier and that was Smriti Irani. When she started Kyunki Saas (bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi) to when she ended, she was huge. See the first year of Kyunki and the last year of Kyunki, she's as big as I am. But equally successful." Ram then implied that while it will be difficult for more men to achieve success with the weight, women like Smriti have. "It will be difficult for another guy to do it, I agree. But Smriti did it; she did it with all that weight," he added. Internet slams Ram Kapoor After snippets from the interview were shared on social media, the internet expressed its disapproval of the statement. One person exclaimed, "What did I just hear? Did he just say that success is directly proportional to the LITERAL SIZE of a human being? Has he lost it or has this been taken out of context? I mean, wtf?" Another added, "I've literally never seen a single overweight female in a romantic drama on ITV, unless the whole show is abt her weight. But he kept on getting cast as a lead in romantic dramas, where his weight was never the topic of conversation, so wtf is he cribbing abt? Even Smriti was very thin when the show started." Another justified Smriti's success and weight gain, writing, "She legit acted in her pregnancies. And her "size" which, no offence, she looked absolutely beautiful in all her sizes on the show, actually suited the character due to the character having multiple children then going on to have grandchildren etc." On Reddit, one person referred to Ram's recent controversial statements and wondered, "Ram Kapoor wants to be cancelled so bad." Ram Kapoor's recent controversy Ram Kapoor was last seen in JioHotstar's Mistry, an adaptation of Monk. The show's promotions were not without controversy as the actor was removed from the promotional interviews by the streaming platform following his sexist comments aimed at the marketing and publicity team. The actor has since apologised for his behaviour.
