He spoke to BollywoodLife and reacted to Smriti Irani‘s show ruling the TRP charts. He also said that the return was indeed a festival. He said, “Yes, absolutely…Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi is truly an iconic show. I still remember watching it with my family back when I was in school. It’s more than just a TV show; for us 90s kids, it’s an emotion. So yes, its return feels like a festival, and I’m sure those who grew up with it know exactly what I mean.” This is a big story in entertainment news and TV news.

“I’m sure people, including me, were very excited to see Smriti Ma’am back on the television screen. Watching her is a treat, and working with her is something that truly cannot be expressed in words. It’s an experience filled with admiration, learning, and nostalgia. I don’t want to compare it with other shows…Anupamaa, Yeh Rishta and others are doing really well in their own right, and after all, they’re all part of the same StarPlus family. But I’m genuinely so happy to see Kyunki take off so strongly again. Kudos to the entire team and a big, heartfelt congratulations to our Ekta Ma’am!” he added.
