Smriti Irani's Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 to go OFF AIR?

Smriti Irani’s much-anticipated comeback to television with the sequel of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi has taken viewers on a nostalgic yet refreshing ride. The show, which marks the return of one of Indian TV’s most beloved characters, Tulsi, has quickly become a TRP favorite. Fans have been glued to the screen, celebrating the revival of the cult classic that once redefined family dramas in India. However, the excitement around the series has recently been tempered by online buzz suggesting that the show might end sooner than expected.

According to several social media reports, the Smriti Irani starrer is likely to go off air in January after completing around 200 episodes. While neither the channel, production team, nor cast members have officially confirmed the news, it has certainly sparked concern among viewers who were hoping for a longer run. Interestingly, this speculation aligns with statements made by the show’s creator, Ektaa Kapoor, who had earlier mentioned that the new Kyunki would not follow the typical never-ending soap format.

In a social media note titled “Why Kyunki, Why Now?”, Kapoor explained her vision for the reboot, saying,

'Kyunki is returning with limited episodes to celebrate 25 years — a show meant to entertain, evoke emotion, and inspire, while staying true to its legacy.”
She further reflected, “We will never win against nostalgia. The fight isn’t about winning, it’s about creating impact.'

Her statement about “limited episodes” has now become the basis for the current buzz surrounding the show’s alleged early wrap-up. If the reports of a 200-episode run prove true, it would mark a significant shift from the marathon storytelling that once defined Indian television.

Despite the uncertainty, the reboot’s success in capturing audience attention and dominating TRP charts proves that Tulsi’s charm remains timeless. Whether the show truly concludes in January or continues beyond its expected limit, one thing is clear — Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi has once again struck an emotional chord with viewers, blending nostalgia with a modern narrative twist.
