The cast of the iconic Indian TV show ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’ Season 1 came together to mark the show’s 26th anniversary on July 3. Hosted by Gauri Pradhan Tejwani and Hiten Tejwani, the reunion included beloved actors from the popular drama. Ritu Chaudhary, who played Shobha Virani, shared photos from the event on social media.
Smriti Irani, Gauri Pradhan, Hiten Tejwani, and others from the original cast gathered for the intimate get-together. Riva Bubber also posted a nostalgic picture with Gauri Pradhan, reminiscing about their friendship of over two decades. The show, which premiered on July 3, 2000, focused on Tulsi Virani and the Virani family, featuring a talented ensemble cast.
The first season of ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’ ran for 8 years, becoming a beloved saas-bahu drama on Indian television. In August 2025, a reprise version aired with Smriti Irani reprising her role as Tulsi and Amar Upadhyay as Mihir. Apara Mehta, who played Mihir’s mother Savita Virani in the original season, did not return for the new version.
The on-screen couple of Mihir and Tulsi, portrayed by Amar Upadhyay and Smriti Irani, was iconic in the 2000s. The show’s enduring popularity led to a reprise version after 25 years from its debut.
