Mumbai, Aug 23: Ekta Kapoor’s Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi Season 2 has struck gold on television, climbing to the top of the TRP charts within its first week.

The makers recently recreated one of the most iconic moments from Season 1, where Tulsi and Mihir bump into each other, leading to colours from Tulsi’s plate smearing onto Mihir’s kurta. The scene, which had become a household memory in the early 2000s, returned after 25 years, leaving fans nostalgic.

The channel shared a clip of the recreated scene on Instagram, which was soon flooded with comments from viewers who reminisced about the golden era of TV.

Smriti Irani has returned as Tulsi, alongside Amar Upadhyay as Mihir, reuniting one of the most loved on-screen pairs of Indian television. According to BARC data, the show recorded a TRP of 2.3 in its debut week, overtaking Anupamaa, which had long dominated the Hindi GEC fiction category.

The original show aired from 2000 to 2008 and was among the longest-running daily soaps. Season 2 has brought back many original cast members including Hiten Tejwani, Gauri Pradhan, Shakti Anand, Ritu Seth, Ketavi Dave, and Komolika Guhathakurta, while also introducing a new generation of actors like Rohit Suchanti, Shagun Sharma, Aman Gandhi, Tanisha Mehta, Prachi Singh, and Ankit Bhatia.
