A middle-aged woman, clearly moved, tells her children that ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’ was more than just a show for her, it was the reason the family developed the habit of eating dinner together every day.

When her son tells her the show is making a comeback, her face lights up. “Apni Tulsi wapas TV par?” she asks, hope glimmering in her eyes. And just like that, the door opens to the real moment fans have been waiting for; Smriti Irani’s hand is lifting a kalash (a ceremonial pot), and her voice follows:
“Zaroor aaungi. Kyunki, humaara 25 saalo ka rishta jo hai. Waqt aa gaya hai aap se phir milne ka.”

The teaser closes with a bang. The reboot is ready to air from July 29, every night at 10:30 PM.

While the original ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’, created by Ekta Kapoor, defined the Indian television landscape for much of the early 2000s, this new version seems to aim for both nostalgia and a fresh start.

Social media has since exploded with reactions. Many fans welcomed Smriti back, recalling how Tulsi felt like a part of their own families.
