All eyes are on July 29, 2025, as one of Ekta Kapoor's most loved television shows of all time - Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi is returning with its reboot series. What's even better is that the OG cast is returning, too. Most importantly, Smriti Irani and Amar Upadhyay as Tulsi and Mihir.
As per reports, Ekta Kapoor and Smriti Irani are all set to seek blessings for their upcoming show at Nathdwara Temple near Udaipur, Rajasthan, on July 27, 2025.
It is one of the oldest and most famous temples dedicated to Lord Krishna. Over 300 years old, this temple is a spiritual haven for devotees from the Pushtimarg tradition.
Background
A teaser for the upcoming sequel has already been released, featuring Smriti Irani as Tulsi, taking viewers through the iconic Virani house in Shanti Niketan.
Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 will also mark the return of several original cast members, including Amar Upadhyay as Mihir Virani, Hiten Tejwani as Karan Virani and Gauri Pradhan as Nandini Virani.
The new promo revealed that there will be new faces Rohit Suchanti, Shagun Sharma, and Aman Gandhi. The show is set to premiere on July 29 at 10:30 pm.
Smriti Irani On How Kyunki Redefined Television
The show originally aired in a late-night 10:30 pm slot, which was considered an off-peak time. However, it soon became a trendsetter.
"From 2000 to 2008, our team redefined television in a completely new way. Back then, no one used to watch TV at 10:30 p.m. Women producing television series weren't common, and it was also rare for female actors to be the central narrators and the core focus of any show. Establishing all these things was a landmark in itself, a unique chapter of our lives," Smriti Irani said.
Smriti also spoke about how the success of the show transformed the lives of those who worked on it.
"I still remember when we first started working on the show; we were about 120-150 people. None of us owned a house or a car. We all laid the financial foundation of our lives through Kyunki. People may watch us on screen, but many don't realise how many households keep their stoves burning simply because someone switches on the television."
In A Nutshell
Tulsi Virani, aka Smriti Irani and Kyunki's producer Ekta Kapoor are headed to Nathdwara Temple in Rajasthan to seek blessings ahead of the premiere of the Reboot series. They will visit the temple on July 27, 2025.

Kumkum Bhagya To Go Off Air Due To Low TRPs? Here's What We Know
Zee TV's Kumkum Bhagya, featuring Pranali Rathod and Namik Paul, will reportedly end next month due to low TRPs. The final episode airs on September 7, 2025. Zee TV's most popular show, Kumkum Bhagya, is reportedly going off air next month. Kumkum Bhagya started in 2014 with Sriti Jha and Shabir Ahluwalia as the main leads, and after multiple leaps and story changes, the show currently stars Pranali Rathod and Namik Paul as the fourth generation. But now, reports indicate that the makers have decided to end the show, considering poor TRPs. A source close to the development told IWMBUZZ, 'Kumkum Bhagya, which presently has Pranali Rathod, Namik Paul, and Akshay Bindra as the fourth-generation leads in the show, will soon go off air. The decision, apparently, has been made to end the long-running show. The show has been struggling with a drop in TRPs for some time now." While the officials are yet to confirm this news of the show going off air, it has been claimed in the report that the last episode of the family drama will air on September 7, 2025, marking the end of an 11-year journey of entertaining generations. While at first the plan wasn't to end the show, as per Gossips TV, when the makers of the show were offered a slot at 7 PM, the producer Ektaa Kapoor decided to reject the offer and instead took the decision to end it. Kumkum Bhagya began with Sriti Jha and Shabir Ahluwalia in the lead, followed by a generation leap that brought in Krishna Kaul and Mugdha Chaphekar. Later, Abrar Qazi and Rachi Sharma took over as leads, and currently, Pranali Rathod and Namik Paul headline the show. Now in its 11th year, Kumkum Bhagya stands as one of Indian television's longest-running shows. While reports hint that fans of Pranali and Namik may soon have to bid them goodbye, there has been no official confirmation about the show going off air. Meanwhile, talking about the show's producer, Ektaa Kapoor, recently made headlines as she rebooted the iconic show Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, starring actor and politician Smriti Irani.
