One Week Of <i>Kyunki</i> Season 2: Mihir-Tulsi Set Couple Goals, Fans Want No More Affairs

When Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Thi first premiered 25 years ago, Smriti Irani and Amar Upadhyay's on-screen couple of Tulsi Virani and Mihir Virani was pegged as the perfect pair, right next to Ram-Sita from Ramayan. Just like Ram and Sita, life wasn't a bed of roses for TV's OG couple back in the 2000s.

A Bit Of OG Kyunki History

Pretty much the entire Virani clan was against Tulsi and Mihir's match, except dearest and late Baa, even before the then young couple tied the knot. Mihir's mother Savita was not ready to accept a low-class, simpleton like Tulsi. She wanted Payal, a khandaani ameer for her prince-like son. But their love eventually conquered all.

But then Mihir met with a fatal accident and Tulsi, who was pregnant with their first child, had to resort to getting remarried to Anupam Kapadia. Lo and behold, Mihir came back from the dead, on the show, but now had no memory of Tulsi. He and Mandira, Anupam's sister, were sort of a couple then.

There were logistical hiccups too as the real Mihir, that is Amar Upadhyay, left the show for films and two more actors Inder Kumar and Ronit Roy played the fan-favourite character after time jumps. Later, our adarsh balak Mihir went on to father an illegitimate son Karan with Mandira. And things were no longer the same.

Not only Mihir, Tulsi also changed faces briefly, with Gautami Kapoor taking on the mantle until she was (quite dramatically) dethroned by the original Tulsi.

Kyunki 2 With OG Tulsi And Mihir

In its second coming, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi is trying to give Smriti Irani and Amar Upadhyay's OG Tulsi-Mihir, now in their mid age, another shot at love. Fans, both old and new, are loving every bit of it.

A section of X users is calling them the new power couple.

A user also praised both the parents for pulling the parent duty.

But an old Kyunki fan said it doesn't feel like the old times.

A user on X reminded fellow Kyunki fans about Mihir's infidelity.

Another urged Mihir to steer clear of extramarital affairs, at least in this season.

While Tulsi continues to be the upholder of the truth, the epitome of sacrifice, and the flagbearer of tradition, social media users are happy to see Mihir as this new-age father who is open about expressing his emotions, be it love for his wife or concern for his children.

Tuesday's episode had a key scene where Mihir, a health freak, takes shots of haldi ka juice with his son Angad who was recently released from jail. When Angad wonders whether his father was offering him alcohol, Mihir playfully chides him, saying, "Hum Gujarati hain, ye alcohol nahin hai".

The father-son duo says cheers and end up saying 'I love you' to each other, a rare scene in the Indian entertainment space.

What's Next For Kyunki 2

The last episode of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi ended with a precap of today's episode with Mihir cancelling a match that he himself had arranged for Pari after her potential mother-in-law lashed out against the Virani family's sanskars where they treat sons and daughters of the house as equals.

Full points to Papa Mihir for sticking to his guns and winning the approval of both Kyunki's millennial as well as Gen-Z audience.
