‘We’re Viewers Yet Affected By FALLING TRPS’: Kyunki 2 Fans Demand Mihir’s Return, Link It To Rating Dip

Some characters become more than just roles on television. They become memories, emotions and a part of the audience’s daily lives. For many fans of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Amar Upadhyay’s Mihir Virani has always been one such character. His presence was not just about a male lead in the story, but about a bond that viewers had built with the show over the years.

Since Amar Upadhyay’s exit from Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 on May 3, fans have been making their disappointment clear on social media. The show, which was enjoying the top position in ratings when Mihir was part of the storyline, has reportedly moved down to the No. 5 spot within weeks of his departure. While ratings can change due to several factors, many viewers feel Mihir’s absence has affected their connection with the show.

The reaction from the audience has been difficult to ignore. Fan pages, Instagram stories and online discussions are filled with messages requesting the makers to bring Mihir Virani back. Several viewers have shared that the show feels incomplete without his presence and that his character was one of the strongest pillars of the storyline.

One fan expressed their frustration online, writing, “We’re just viewers, yet we’re deeply affected by the show’s falling TRP. You’re the creators, how can you remain so indifferent? Mihir is the male lead and one of the pillars of this story. His prolonged absence is not only hurting the narrative but also disconnecting viewers from the show.”

The demand for Mihir’s return has also reminded fans of the past. When Mihir Virani was removed from the original Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, audiences had reacted strongly and demanded his comeback. At that time, there was no social media platform to amplify their voices, but the love for the character was visible across the country. Today, fans are expressing the same emotions online.

A major part of what viewers miss is the relationship between Tulsi and Mihir, lovingly remembered by fans as “Tuhir”. Their chemistry, emotional moments and playful arguments were among the most loved elements of the show. Many viewers believe that the charm of the story was closely connected to their equation.

Amar Upadhyay’s portrayal of Mihir Virani continues to hold a special place among television audiences. For many, Mihir is not just a fictional character but a reminder of an era of Indian television that created unforgettable memories. With fans continuing to ask for his return, it is clear that Mihir Virani’s connection with the audience remains as strong as ever.
