The iconic TV show Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, which aired on Indian television 22 years ago, is back on the small screen. One of the longest-running daily soaps on TV, made lead pair Smriti Irani and Amar Upadhyay stars overnight. Talking about the Kyunki days, Amar Upadhyay got all nostalgic. “I had been hearing for a while now that the makers and the channel wanted to rerun Kyunki...and finally, it is there on air,” he says.
Adding further, the Molki actor says, “It is a good feeling to have that show back on TV. A lot of my new young fans, who haven't seen me in Kyunki... will now get a chance. It is not only a special show for me but a landmark show for the entire TV fraternity. It is the only TV drama to have touched such high ratings, especially when the death of my character was shown and then when I returned to the show. Never have we seen such an attachment with a character where fans have pelted stones at the maker’s house to bring back a character. In fact, several celebrities called up the makers asking the character to be brought back.”
