The show continues to air on Star Plus at 10:30 PM, engaging viewers with its mix of nostalgia and fresh storylines. The plot connects with its predecessor, where twenty-five years later, Tulsi remembers Savita with fondness, and Mihir gifts her a luxury car on their 38th anniversary. The children of Mihir and Tulsi, Gautam, Shobha, and Karan, have all moved abroad.
"Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2" has been capturing the attention of both old and new audiences with its engaging content. The series showcases the complexities of modern-day parenting and relationships while maintaining the values that made the original a cultural icon.
