Buckle up, saas-bahu squad – Ekta Kapoor's time machine just dropped Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 on Star Plus, and it's serving 2000s nostalgia with a side of 2025 spice. Smriti Irani's back as the eternal Tulsi Virani, sanskari queen slaying family feuds like it's her day job (politics who?). Paired with Amar Upadhyay's Mihir, this reboot hit screens July 29 at 10:30 PM, blending OG Virani drama with nayi peedhi fresh faces like Shagun Sharma as Pari. But hold the thumkas – it's no endless saag, folks. Word on the street? A limited-season sprint, clocking maybe 6-9 months, 'cause Smriti's got Amethi rallies and Union Minister gigs pulling her strings. No infinite episodes here; it's a victory lap, not a marathon.
This week's TRP tango? Pure fire. Wee Anupamaa flexing 2.3 points, but Kyunki nips at 2.2 – a whisker away, like Tulsi's bindi to her mangalsutra. That's "quite close" for ya, with both hovering that golden 2.2 vibe from earlier charts. Nostalgia's the secret sauce: Fans glued for Mihir's resurrection (again!) and Tulsi's wrinkle-caressing wisdom, outpacing Yeh Rishta's Gen-Z glow-up at third. But Anupamaa's Rupali Ganguly empire? Unshakeable, with 21 seasons of emotional extortion keeping aunties hooked.Funky plot twist: If Kyunki pushes – amp those body-shaming brawls, anniversary meltdowns, and sanskar sermons – it could topple the queen bee consistently. Imagine Tulsi schooling Anupamaa's divorce drama with Virani verve! Yet, as a finite feast, this show's gotta gobble that No. 1 crown now and sashay out sassy. Smriti's political plot armor means no dragging into 2026 slumps; bow out blazing, leaving Anupamaa to its endless empathy arcs. Ekta's betting big on that 25-year itch – will it scratch Kyunki to the top? Or fade like a forgotten sindoor? Tune in, tribe; the saas is rising, but the clock's ticking. Jai Ma Tulsi – make it count
