Through her words, Ashlesha not only congratulated the new team but also fondly remembered her early acting days with the original Kyunki team. She highlighted the record-breaking success of the original series, which once hit a historic TRP rating of 22, a number still unmatched in Indian television.

Calling the show her “mothership,” Ashlesha expressed her deep connection with the Ekta Kapoor-led Balaji Telefilms, which gave her and many others a significant break in the industry. She also sent her love and best wishes to the cast and crew of the new season, urging her followers to shower the same love on the reboot that the original had once received.

For the unversed, Ashlesha who is currently playing Arshi in Jhanak, became a familiar face on Hindi television, gaining recognition for her roles such as Tara Singh in Saat Phere – Saloni Ka Safar, Preeti Diwan Deshpande in Pyaar Ka Dard Hai Meetha Meetha Pyaara Pyaara, Meera in Kumkum Bhagya, and Barkha Mehta Kapadia in Anupamaa.

As Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 makes a grand return tonight, Ashlesha's words beautifully sum up the emotional nostalgia shared by fans and actors alike who grew with the legacy of the show.
