Smriti Irani On How Kyunki Redefined Television
The show originally aired in a late-night 10:30 pm slot, which was considered an off-peak time. However, it soon became a trendsetter.
"From 2000 to 2008, our team redefined television in a completely new way. Back then, no one used to watch TV at 10:30 p.m. Women producing television series weren't common, and it was also rare for female actors to be the central narrators and the core focus of any show. Establishing all these things was a landmark in itself, a unique chapter of our lives," Smriti Irani said.
Smriti also spoke about how the success of the show transformed the lives of those who worked on it.
"I still remember when we first started working on the show; we were about 120-150 people. None of us owned a house or a car. We all laid the financial foundation of our lives through Kyunki. People may watch us on screen, but many don't realise how many households keep their stoves burning simply because someone switches on the television."
In A Nutshell
Tulsi Virani, aka Smriti Irani and Kyunki's producer Ekta Kapoor are headed to Nathdwara Temple in Rajasthan to seek blessings ahead of the premiere of the Reboot series. They will visit the temple on July 27, 2025.
