Mumbai, July 27 (NationPress) The producers of the iconic television drama ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’ have disclosed the lunch preferences of the cast while on set.
On Saturday, they unveiled a teaser for the much-anticipated second season of the show, featuring a cast member guiding viewers through the set as fellow actors enjoy their meals.
Some actors expressed a preference for home-cooked dishes, while others maintained a focus on their dietary choices. One particular actor mentioned that he relies solely on protein bars for lunch to manage his weight.
This show also marks the return of actress and politician Smriti Irani to the television landscape following a significant defeat in the Lok Sabha elections.
Previously, she reflected on the show's cultural impact, noting how it became a pop-culture phenomenon and dominated Indian television during its prime.
Irani remarked that her character and the series have withstood the test of time, securing a cherished place in the hearts of millions of Indians.
She stated, “When I first entered Tulsi’s world, I never anticipated how far her journey would extend—not just into households, but into the hearts of countless individuals across India. Tulsi transcended the role of a mere character; she became a daughter, a mother, a friend—and for many, a symbol of their own resilience, sacrifice, and beliefs.”
In the early 2000s, long before the advent of hashtags or social media, ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’ not only trended but established itself as a tradition.
She elaborated, “It shattered every conceivable metric of success, not merely through numbers, but through deep emotional resonance. Families paused their routines to watch it together. Debates, laughter, and tears revolved around one name, Tulsi. Even in her absence from the screen, Tulsi never truly departed from the audience. Strangers approached me not as Smriti, but as Tulsi, for she remained alive in memories, rituals, and households. Such a legacy isn’t scripted; it is bestowed, with gratitude.”
“Now, years later, life comes full circle—not to recreate the past but to reignite a feeling that never faded. Tulsi returns, not just as a character, but as an emotion, a memory. In an era where narratives circulate rapidly but meaning is ephemeral, this return invites us to pause, reminisce, and experience it once more,” she added.
