Television audiences are in for a nostalgic treat as Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi gears up for a grand return with a brand-new season. And leading this reboot will be none other than Shagun Sharma, a name well-known to Indian households. Yes, it’s official. Shagun has been finalized as the female lead for Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2, stepping into a show that once ruled Indian television and created unforgettable characters.
Fans of Shagun will remember her most recently as Kashvi in Yeh Hai Chahatein, where her performance was met with praise. Before that, she charmed viewers in shows like Ishq Par Zor Nahi and Sasural Genda Phool 2. Known for her natural screen presence and warm personality, she’s now all set to headline this highly anticipated project.
Initially, reports suggested that Tanisha Mehta was in talks for the lead, but in the end, it’s Shagun who has bagged the part. The excitement around her casting has only added to the buzz surrounding the reboot. Alongside her, actor Rohit Suchanti has reportedly been cast as the male lead. Rohit, who has made his mark with shows like Bhagya Lakshmi, Sasural Simar Ka, and Balika Vadhu 2, will be sharing screen space with Shagun for the first time.
The revival is being produced by none other than Ekta Kapoor under her banner Balaji Telefilms. The original series, which ran from 2000 to 2008, remains a landmark in Indian TV history. It turned Smriti Irani into a household name as Tulsi Virani and redefined the family drama genre on the small screen. Its success was unprecedented, with record-breaking TRP ratings and characters that people continue to remember fondly.
Adding a further touch of nostalgia, the production team is reportedly in talks with five original cast members to return for the second season. Hiten Tejwani, Gauri Pradhan, Sandeep Baswana, Shilpa Agnihotri, and Rakshanda Khan are said to be in discussions to reprise their iconic roles. A source close to the project shared, “They are in talks to reprise their iconic characters, which played a huge role in the original show’s success. Their return is expected to bring a wave of nostalgia among fans.” Though official confirmation is still pending, the prospect of these familiar faces returning has thrilled long-time viewers.
With Shagun Sharma at the helm, joined by Rohit Suchanti and possibly some beloved original stars, the reboot is shaping up to be one of television’s most awaited shows. As excitement builds, audiences can’t help but wonder how the new chapter will unfold in the legendary Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi saga.
