Take a look at Neena Gupta's post here:
Last year, Neena Gupta shared this priceless memory from the sets of the show, sending fans of the show into a tizzy:
Earlier this year, Neena Gupta told news agency IANS that she has been exploring the idea of re-launching Saans for two years now and is yet to finalise a platform - TV or digital space. "I want to re-launch Saans and I am looking for a platform where we can carry it. Be it a digital medium or TV, I am fine with any platform."
However, it will be a revamped version of Saans with the same cast but a different storyline: "It may be not 'Saans 2', but something like Saans with the same actors. It will be based on relationship of a couple."
Saans was one-of-a-kind show when it released in 1998 - it's storyline revolved around how a mother of two Priya Gupta (Neena Gupta) dealt with her husband Gautam Kapoor's (Kanwaljit Singh) extramarital affair with Manisha (Kavita Kapoor).
