Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 is a Indian Hindi-language television series that premiered on 29 July 2025 on Star Plus and streams digitally on JioHotstar. It is a sequel and reboot of the iconic Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. The show features the return of Smriti Irani and Amar Upadhyay as Tulsi and Mihir Virani, along with next-generation characters.

Plot

Twenty-five years later, Tulsi and Mihir celebrate their 38th anniversary, with their children Gautam, Shobha, and Karan living abroad. Additionally, Tulsi has raised Angad, Paridhi, and Hrithik, the children of her late cousin Kesar. Misunderstandings, romantic relationships, and unforeseen circumstances—such as Angad's legal issues and Paridhi's covert relationship—all contribute to family strife. Mihir shows Tulsi his love and supports her choices as she works through issues with her kids, in-laws, and extended family. Ajay's involvement, Paridhi's marriage plans, and manipulation by family members like Gayatri all contribute to the escalation of conflicts. Tulsi struggles, learns the truth, and strives to uphold the honor of her family.
