Fans may have to wait a bit longer than anticipated for the much-talked-about Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2.

According to a report in Hindustan Times, the highly anticipated return of the most famous show has been temporarily halted. The premiere date of the show has reportedly been moved, HT quoted a source.

“Kyunki.. was supposed to go on air on July 3, 2025 but now the launch date has been pushed. Ektaa (R Kapoor, producer) wanted some changes in the set. She is reworking on the set and hence the delay," HT quoted the source.

Amar Uphadyay, would be reprising his role as Mihir Virani opposite Smriti Irani as Tulsi Virani.

Amar also said: “Yes, it’s true. The set had to be reworked. Apparently, the colour combination on screen wasn’t translating the way it should. Ektaa knows exactly what she wants—she’s a perfectionist. And this is Kyunki… it’s not just another show. It’s a legacy and she wants to do everything what’s best for the show.”

Amar said: “The mahurat shoot will take place on the 25th anniversary of the original premiere. Honestly, it’s symbolic. To start again, on the same date, feels like a full circle moment. The nostalgia is hitting hard, but this time, we’re stepping into it with new energy, updated storytelling, and a set that’s being crafted down to the last detail.”

Amar says he is excited to be back on the sets of Kyunki, he said: “We picked up exactly where we left off. Same comfort, same energy. It felt familiar and warm—just like it used to be 25 years ago,” says Amar recalling his meeting with Smriti post the show was announced. Their chemistry as Mihir and Tulsi was once the heartbeat of Indian television, and Amar is confident that spark will reignite in the new season too.

Amar said he will miss Baa and the old cast a lot.
