- The moment, which first aired in the early 2000s, was extremely popular at the time.
- Its recreation after 25 years in Season 2 left fans nostalgic, with many taking a trip down memory lane.
- The channel shared a video clip of the scene on Instagram, which was soon flooded with comments from fans.
Background
Actor-turned-politician Smriti Irani has reprised her role as Tulsi, while Amar Upadhyay has returned as Mihir. Back in the 2000s, Mihir and Tulsi were considered among television's most iconic on-screen couples.
According to data from the Broadcast Audience Research Council of India (BARC), Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi Season 2 recorded a TRP of 2.3 in its opening week, overtaking Anupamaa, which had long dominated the Hindi GEC fiction category.
The original season, which aired from June 2000 to November 2008, ran for eight years, making it one of the longest-running shows of its time. Fans would also remember how Amar Upadhyay's character Mihir was brought back to life after his exit due to high demand from viewers.
Season 2 has reunited much of the original cast, including Smriti Irani, Amar Upadhyay, Hiten Tejwani, Gauri Pradhan, Shakti Anand, Ritu Seth, Ketavi Dave, and Komolika Guhathakurta. The show has also introduced a new generation of actors, featuring Rohit Suchanti, Shagun Sharma, Aman Gandhi, Tanisha Mehta, Prachi Singh, and Ankit Bhatia.
