Shilpa Saklani, Tassnim Sheikh, Gauri Pradhan and Riva Bubber |
Members: The family that sticks together, lasts longer. Keeping this motto in mind, the matriarch of the Virani family, Tulsi (Smriti Iraani) always keeps to her Kyunki clan. Sudha Shivpuri (Ba), Apara Mehta (Savita) and Smriti are a trio who represent the elder generation on the show — they are always together. But their bahus — Shilpa Saklani (Ganga), Riva Bubber (Damini), and Gauri Pradhan (Nandini) Tassnim Sheikh (Mohini) — prefer to party separately.
Distinguishing features: The Kyunki group makes sure their presence is felt wherever they go. Not only do they hog the spotlight (owing to the popularity of the show), but also make sure they pose in style for all the pictures. Recently, when Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii threw a party on completion of 1000 episodes, there was buzz that it didn't match up to the lavish bash the Kyunki team had. Clearly goes to show which of these camps wields more clout. Sudha Shivpuri, Smriti Iraani, Komolika Guha Thakurta

Most likely topic: Smriti and Apara are best friends. The two not only share terrific on-screen chemistry, but also make friendly jokes about each other. Smriti is fondly nicknamed "thepla aunty" by Apara.
