Tulsi-Mihir Reunite in Kyuki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi Season 2, Internet Drowns in Nostalgia:
It’s not every day that television rekindles an era — but Kyuki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi has done just that. With the release of Season 2, Indian TV’s most iconic show has returned, and what truly set the internet abuzz was the emotional reunion of the legendary couple: Tulsi and Mihir Virani.
When Kyuki first aired in 2000, no one could have imagined that the characters of Tulsi (played by Smriti Irani) and Mihir (originally played by Amar Upadhyay) would go on to become symbols of Indian family drama. Their story of love, loss, strength, and tradition captured the hearts of millions.
Fast forward to 2025 — and suddenly, we’re taken back to those very emotions, as Season 2 breathes new life into the Virani legacy.
The much-awaited episode, which premiered on Tuesday at 10:30 PM, opens on the morning of Tulsi and Mihir Virani’s 38th wedding anniversary — setting the stage for a deeply emotional start.
The pilot episode of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi Season 2 paid tribute to its roots in true Ekta Kapoor fashion — reminiscent of how every early 2000s “K-drama” (as her iconic serials were fondly nicknamed) would begin. Of the 30-minute runtime, the first 1.5 minutes were dedicated to an auspicious opening, featuring a serene Ganpati idol and sweeping archival shots of temples from across India, bringing back a wave of nostalgia.
As the clock struck 10:30 PM, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi made its grand return — reclaiming its iconic time slot. This time, the beloved title track didn’t just play on Star Plus, but also echoed across its sister streaming platform JioCinema (formerly Hotstar), marking its arrival in the digital age.
Amid the nostalgic theme song and the montage of temple visuals, the camera gently panned to the sacred Tulsi plant, lovingly watered by Tulsi Virani herself, while the soothing sound of a conch shell resonated in the background — a powerful nod to the show’s spiritual and cultural essence.
As soon as the reunion aired, #TulsiMihir, #KyukiReturns, and #ViraniParivaar began trending across platforms.
Fans poured their hearts out with emotional tweets and Instagram stories, sharing how their childhood, college days, or family nights were wrapped around this serial.
