Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi Reboot: Smriti Irani, Amar Upadhyay, Mouni Roy And Pulkit Samrat To Return; Premieres July 29
Ekta Kapoor is officially resuming the legacy of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi with a reboot to mark the show’s 25th anniversary. The new season will consist of 150 episodes—designed to complete its original 2,000‑episode run—and is scheduled to premiere on July 29 2025 at 10:30 PM on Star Plus and JioHotstar.
Smriti Irani and Amar Upadhyay are reprising their beloved roles as Tulsi and Mihir Virani. Their return has generated significant buzz and nostalgia. In exclusive interviews, Amar reflected, “I didn’t think Kyunki… would still be such a big deal … people from all age groups seem excited … the pressure is definitely there” .
Filming began symbolically on July 3, 2025, after overcoming a delay caused by Vastu‑related set redesigns—a move Ekta Kapoor approved to ensure perfection . On‑set security is tight: Smriti Irani has been provided Z‑plus protection, and phones are disallowed for most cast and crew to prevent leaks.
One intriguing element fans are excited about: Mouni Roy—and possibly Karishma Tanna—are rumored to appear in extended cameo roles or in the special promotional video. Although not officially confirmed, insiders suggest Mouni’s return as Krishna Tulsi would bridge the original and the reboot, evoking strong audience nostalgia.
Producer Ekta Kapoor has framed the reboot not merely as a nostalgia play, but as a socially conscious reboot that aims to “give voice to women”, “spark conversation”, and resonate with younger audiences while preserving the essence that made the show iconic.
