Pearl V Puri to enter Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2, to play THIS character?

More than two decades after it first reshaped the landscape of Indian television, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi continues to remain one of the most iconic daily soaps ever produced. Created by Ekta Kapoor, the show dominated ratings during its original run and became a cultural phenomenon across the country. Its characters, storylines, and emotional family drama set the benchmark for daily soaps for years to come. With the arrival of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2, the nostalgia surrounding the franchise has returned in a big way. Interestingly, even more than twenty years later, the show has managed to outperform several other programs on television and is currently sitting at the top of the charts, once again proving the strength of its legacy.

Amid the growing buzz around the sequel, a new casting update has surfaced. According to a report by Bombay Times, actor Pearl V Puri has reportedly been approached to play the role of Ansh Gujral’s son in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2. The actor, who has been away from television for the past four years, is currently in talks with the makers for the role.

For audiences who followed the original show, Ansh Gujral was one of the most memorable and controversial characters in the series. The role was portrayed by Akashdeep Saigal and became widely discussed for its dramatic storyline and intense screen presence. The report further suggests that the makers initially approached Akashdeep Saigal to reprise his role as Ansh Gujral in the sequel. However, the deal reportedly did not materialize, following which the team began exploring other options for the character’s extended storyline.

If the discussions with Pearl V Puri move forward, it would mark a notable return for the actor to the television space. Pearl first rose to prominence with his performance in Phir Bhi Na Maane...Badtameez Dil, where he played the lead character Abeer Malhotra. He later gained widespread popularity for his role as Mahir Sehgal in Naagin 3, which became one of the highest rated seasons of the franchise.

Over the years, the actor has also been part of shows such as Bepanah Pyaar and Naagarjuna Ek Yoddha, further strengthening his fan base on television. Apart from TV, Pearl also made his Bollywood debut with the film Yaariyan 2, marking his transition into films after a successful run on the small screen.

With Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 already generating significant excitement among viewers, updates related to casting continue to keep fans intrigued. If Pearl V Puri ultimately joins the show, his entry could introduce a new generational arc to the narrative while also bringing back the legacy of one of the most talked about characters from the original series.
