Overall, the conversation helped everyone see TV in a new light, making them think about its role in their homes.
The highlights of the conversation were as follows:
Smriti Irani smiled and said, "Tulsi as a character is the epitome of empathy. Today's generation needs this empathy more than ever." Who can deny Bahurani Smriti's perspective? She spoke in such a simple way that you could clearly hear the iconic Tulsi Virani in her voice. After so many years, once again Tulsi, as always, is giving wise, sensible, and caring advice. But this wasn't just another PR event. Tulsi also participated in a number of extremely interesting games. Karan's "one-word game" also brought out Smriti's fun side, which made everyone smile (even Smriti called Amar Upadhyay and Ketki Dave the real comedy people behind the camera). Hearing this, the audience had a storm of memories and laughter.
The two television queens are ready to relive their old memories and make a fresh start? The conversation turned to a very important topic of today. The way children are raised by Generation Z. Ekta Kapoor promised that when the new season of Kyunki comes, it will not be a copy of that 2000s family drama. It will show a fresh take on how today's families handle, or should handle, their complicated relationships, mobile phones, and changing values. Ekta said that this show has made her what she is today. You can see the immense love for this mega serial in Ekta's eyes. Karan told her that she has helped in creating not just a TV serial, but an entire TV industry. Karan thanked Ekta for her phenomenal impact on the entertainment industry, saying, “You have given a platform to countless people and built an empire that inspires generations.”
Everyone agreed that it is hard to find someone who has brought such a huge change to TV and careers.

The excitement for the new, better, and modern version of the show was only growing with each passing minute.

The impact of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi
'"Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi" is a TV show that changed Indian television. It began in 2000, and many people adjusted their daily routines just to watch it. This show captured the hearts of millions. It introduced new stories and characters, making everyone excited for each episode. Its influence is still felt today because it set the stage for many other dramas.
When it started in 2000, people changed their daily routine to watch it. Every evening, the whole family would gather together, making it a sort of everyday celebration. The story centered on a Gujarati joint family led by Tulsi, highlighting everyday issues, heartwarming and heartbreaking emotions, and debates that we are all familiar with in our own homes. Suddenly, TV was no longer just a way to pass the time but a way to find ourselves in those stories and faces.
Before this show, women were not having strong central characters in most Indian soaps. Here, the 'saas' and 'bahu' (mother-in-law and daughter-in-law) were not just in supporting roles. Actually, they were the real stars. Smriti Irani, who played Tulsi, became a household name, and her dialogues, the dramatic turns, and even aartis were imitated across the country. The show inspired viewers to talk about issues such as respect for elders and the importance of joint families, and the problems of modern relationships.
Behind the scenes, the serial gave work and recognition to many actors and technicians who started from nothing. Smriti Irani said in an interview that the entire cast and crew made their living with the show, with many even buying their first home or car thanks to its success. Its themes also reached internationally, making it a 'global ambassador' of Indian family values and storytelling.
Its legacy is not just entertainment. It started conversations at every dinner table, on parenting styles, women's roles, even difficult issues like age shaming and relationships. The show's producer, Ekta Kapoor, believed that its biggest achievement was changing people's mindsets more than just breaking TV records.
When popular character Mihir returned after leaving the show, TV ratings records were broken. Proof that people were truly crazy about it, and the show became a cultural phenomenon. Even decades later, the return of Kyunki has left fans emotional and reflects its unforgettable place in Indian pop culture.
