The second season of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi has completed its first week, and fans are once again hooked — not to the chaos, but to the rekindled love story between Mihir and Tulsi. Played by Smriti Irani and Amar Upadhyay, the iconic TV couple has returned to the small screen, sparking nostalgia and emotional excitement among longtime viewers.
The Return of an Iconic Couple
It’s been 25 years since the original show debuted, cementing Tulsi and Mihir as household names and one of Indian television’s most loved couples. At the time, their relationship was hailed as almost mythical — often compared to Ram and Sita — for its idealism and endurance through family opposition, misunderstandings, and even death.
While the original story saw Tulsi and Mihir navigating a maze of tragedies — from fatal accidents and amnesia to remarriage and secret children — the reboot seems to promise a more grounded approach. Now in their middle age, the couple has re-entered viewers’ lives with a fresh dynamic but the same emotional weight.
Fans Are All In – But Want Stability This Time
Audiences are embracing this revival with open arms, expressing their joy across social media platforms. A notable portion of fans have dubbed Tulsi and Mihir the “new power couple” — a nod to their enduring chemistry. However, viewers are also drawing a clear line: they don’t want more dramatic love triangles or unexpected affairs this time around.
A trending sentiment on X (formerly Twitter) reads, “We’re here for love, not heartbreak again. No more Mandiras, please.”
Why It’s Striking a Chord
The timing of the reboot couldn’t be better. Amid an era of fast-paced thrillers and dark dramas, Kyunki 2 brings back emotional storytelling rooted in family, values, and complicated but tender relationships. It’s not just about nostalgia; it’s also about closure and the hope for a better outcome this time — especially for viewers who grew up with Tulsi and Mihir.
And with both Smriti Irani and Amar Upadhyay reprising their original roles, the emotional connection feels authentic and well-earned.
