Will Mouni Roy and Pulkit Samrat Return to the Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi Universe?
Mouni Roy
and Pulkit Samrat—who both started their careers with the original show—may make special cameos in the upcoming season.
While neither actor has confirmed their return, insiders hint at their interest in revisiting the iconic family drama.
Mouni Roy, who played Krishna Tulsi, and
Pulkit Samrat
, known as Lakshya Virani, became household names through their performances in the first season. Their potential cameos in the remake could serve as a powerful emotional bridge between the old and new generations of viewers.
According to several reports, source close to the production revealed, 'There's definite interest from both Mouni and Pulkit's side.
While nothing is locked yet, their brief appearances could offer a nostalgic moment for long-time fans of the show.'
The reimagined version, set to premiere on July 29, 2025, promises to bring a fresh visual experience while maintaining the essence of the original.
Smriti Irani
and
Amar Upadhyay
will reprise their legendary roles as Tulsi and Mihir Virani, adding authenticity to the new narrative.
If the cameos materialise, audiences will likely witness a heartfelt tribute to the characters that helped define Indian television. Seeing Mouni and Pulkit step back into the world of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi—even briefly—would not only spark nostalgia but also strengthen the emotional connection to the show's legacy.
With the premiere scheduled for 10:30 PM, July 29, fans eagerly await official confirmation. Whether their returns happen or not, the possibility alone has added a fresh wave of excitement around this iconic show's comeback.

8 Films You Never Knew Were Inspired By Shakespeare's Plays
photoDetails english Updated:Aug 05, 2025, 05:55 PM IST Shakespeare's Plays 1 / 10 William Shakespeare may have written his final play centuries ago, but his influence continues to ripple through modern storytelling. His timeless tales of love, ambition, betrayal and revenge have found new life in unexpected places, including cinema. His works have been adapted, reimagined and disguised in the most fascinating ways. Haider (2014), inspired by Hamlet 2 / 10 Set in the conflict-ridden region of Kashmir in the mid-1990s, Haider is a powerful exploration of loss, vengeance and fractured identity. Much like Prince Hamlet, the titular character returns home to uncover unsettling truths about his father's disappearance and his mother's questionable choices. The film blends personal trauma with political unrest, creating a haunting adaptation of one of Shakespeare's most famous tragedies. Ishaqzaade (2012), inspired by Romeo and Juliet 3 / 10 Set in the dusty battleground of small-town politics, Ishaqzaade tells the story of two young lovers caught between bitter family rivalries. Their passion ignites amidst deep seated hatred and societal pressure, echoing the core of Romeo and Juliet. This adaptation gives the classic tragedy a distinctly Indian context, complete with local feuds and cultural friction. Omkara (2006), inspired by Othello 4 / 10 Transposing the story of Othello to rural Uttar Pradesh, Omkara delves into themes of power, mistrust and manipulation. The protagonist, a feared enforcer for a local politician, finds his world unravelled by jealousy and deceit. With compelling performances and a rich, gritty backdrop, this adaptation brings Shakespeare's psychological intensity into the realm of crime and politics. Maqbool (2003), inspired by Macbeth 5 / 10 In this gripping crime drama, the Scottish highlands are replaced by Mumbai's underworld. Maqbool follows a loyal lieutenant whose ambition is fuelled by prophecy and persuasion. As he climbs the ladder through bloodshed, the descent into guilt and paranoia is inevitable. The film captures the dark, tragic tone of Macbeth with a uniquely Indian cinematic style. She's the Man (2006), inspired by Twelfth Night 6 / 10 Set in a modern American high school, this gender-swapping comedy borrows its plot and characters from Twelfth Night. Viola disguises herself as her twin brother to join the boy's football team, setting off a spiral of romantic confusion and mistaken identity. The result is a light-hearted and witty take on Shakespeare's themes of love, disguise and identity. The Lion King (1994), inspired by Hamlet 7 / 10 Although not a direct adaptation, The Lion King draws heavily from Hamlet, with its story of a young prince exiled after the death of his father. The scheming uncle, the ghostly vision and the quest for justice all reflect the core elements of Shakespeare's play. Set to an unforgettable soundtrack and presented in animated splendour, it presents Shakespeare's essence through a tale of lions and legacy. 10 Things I Hate About You (1999), inspired by The Taming of the Shrew 8 / 10 This beloved teen romantic comedy reimagines Shakespeare's battle-of-the-sexes story in a high school setting. Kat Stratford is fiercely independent and uninterested in dating, until a plan is set in motion that leads her to the enigmatic Patrick. Beneath the humour and teenage angst, the film explores themes of independence, expectation and emotional vulnerability, drawing cleverly and intentionally from the original play. West Side Story (2021), inspired by Romeo and Juliet 9 / 10 Set in 1950s New York, West Side Story reinvents Romeo and Juliet through the lens of gang rivalry and racial tension. The love story between Tony and Maria unfolds amidst violent conflict between 'the Jets' and 'the Sharks', rival street gangs from different ethnic backgrounds. The film retains the tragic power of the original while commenting on social issues that remain relevant today. Conclusion 10 / 10 Beyond being rooted in Shakespeare's play, what comes across as more striking is their ability to translate universal human experiences across time and place. The core themes of Shakespeare's works remain strikingly relevant. Love and hate, ambition and guilt, honour and betrayal are stories we continue to tell time and again. After all, as he once wrote, 'all the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players', and these films are some of his most enduring performances.
