As ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu 2’ prepares for a 10-year leap, Hiten Tejwani, portraying Karan Virani, discusses the show’s “most emotional chapters” and the tough words his character, Karan, directs at ‘Tulsi maa’, played by Smriti Irani. After a decade in prison, Tulsi returns to Shantiniketan to find her once-united family now divided, with her sons, Karan and Gautam, at odds, setting the stage for intense emotional conflicts and strained relationships.
Hiten shared, “Shantiniketan mein ab aapke liye koi jagah nahi hai,” highlighting one of the harshest statements Karan makes to his Tulsi Maa, a situation he never anticipated. Karan, portrayed by Hiten, grapples with past wounds and unanswered queries as Tulsi’s comeback stirs up old memories. Meanwhile, Tulsi faces the harsh truth that Shantiniketan no longer symbolizes the unity she fought to preserve.
Reflecting on Tulsi’s return after a decade, Hiten remarked, “Tulsi Maa returns from jail only to face the biggest shock of her life. This will be one of the most poignant chapters in ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’s’ journey.” For Karan, Tulsi Maa has always been a trusted figure he admired, but her reappearance forces him to confront unexpected emotions, adding depth to the storyline.
Hiten emphasized the complexity of the narrative, stating, “The track isn’t just about Karan’s anger towards Tulsi; it delves into a son grappling with heartbreak, disillusionment, and unanswered questions, making it highly relatable.” As Karan and Gomzy find themselves at a crossroads with differing opinions on family and Tulsi’s role, viewers can expect a rollercoaster of emotions, pondering whether Tulsi Maa can mend the fractures in Shantiniketan and reunite the Virani family.
‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’ airs on Star Plus and JioHotstar.
