Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2: Smriti Irani, Amar Upadhyaya's comeback leaves fans emotional

Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 aired its first episode today. Fans tuned in with their families who were regular viewers of Ekta Kapoor’s show that detailed the life of the Virani Parivaar. The first episode had immense elements of nostalgia – from the title track to the flashbacks that showed Baa and Savita (Apara Mehta) on the screen. We are introduced to Smriti Irani as Tulsi Virani who is keeping up with the demands of time, but still believes in traditional values. Smriti Irani still has her screen presence intact, and slips effortlessly into the skin of Tulsi.

Many people said that Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi made them nostalgia. They said they remembered watching it with the late mother-in-law's, mothers and other family members. The reboot of the show has happened after two decades when a lot can happen in a person's life. Young people said they just watched the episode to remember the time spent with their loved ones. The hysteria of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi has not been matched by any other Indian daily soap. Ekta Kapoor has plans to make it a 150 episodes series. This is done so that KSBKBT achieved the landmark of 2000 episodes on TV.

Killer chemistry

Epic flashbacks

Amazing entry

Life's landmarks with KSBKBT

Pure nostalgia

This time we can see that Mihir Virani is a big businessman. Amar Updhayaya is looking amazing on screen. The twist is that Gayatri Chachi has become a villain. The banter of Ara Ra Ra Ra from Ketaki Dave (Daksha Virani) also made our hearts full. Of late, fans are complaining about how Indian daily soaps are showing eroding family values. There is too much focus on one man and two women, and no maker seems to care about traditional Indian family set-up.

The vibes from Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 come across as pretty positive in this regard. It looks like it has made the perfect impression.
