Actor Aman Verma has confirmed his return to the iconic television series 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2', reprising his original character Anupam Kapadia — a role he first played when the show launched in 2001. The actor made the announcement via Instagram on 4 September 2026, calling the comeback a nostalgic full-circle moment spanning 26 years.

The Instagram Announcement

Sharing a collage of two photographs — one from his early days on the show and another from the present — Verma wrote: 'And we come around in a circle .... once again ... Started initially the beginning of my career with this show ... The year was 2001 ... and now its 2026 ... After 26 years the show has not lost its charm or its following Salutations and respect to u @ektarkapoor For the belief I'll have in your characters and the storyline ... there is no one like u ... #anupamkapadia #anupam is Back.'

The post is a direct tribute to producer Ekta Kapoor, whom Verma credited for her unwavering belief in her characters and storytelling.

Who Is Anupam Kapadia

In the original series, Anupam Kapadia was introduced as the former boyfriend of Tulsi — the central character played by Smriti Irani — and as the brother of Mandira. His relationship with Tulsi was among the show's most talked-about narrative threads, making Anupam one of the more memorable supporting figures of the franchise.

Notably, reports suggest that the character of Mandira may also return alongside Anupam in the second season. If confirmed, the dual comeback would deepen the nostalgia quotient for long-time viewers of the original run.

About Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2

'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2' premiered on 29 July 2025 on StarPlus, functioning as both a sequel and a reboot of the original series. The second season brings back Smriti Irani and Amar Upadhyay in the lead roles of Tulsi and Mihir Virani respectively — the characters that made both actors household names during the original show's extended run in the 2000s.

Aman Verma's return adds another layer of continuity to a revival that has already banked heavily on audience familiarity with its original cast and storylines.

What to Watch For

With Verma's entry confirmed and Mandira's potential return still unverified, the coming weeks are likely to bring further casting announcements. The show's producers have so far relied on strategic reveals to sustain audience interest in the reboot — a pattern that Verma's Instagram post fits squarely into.
