Earlier, while speaking to NDTV, Ektaa Kapoor revealed why she decided to reboot ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’ for the younger generation. She shared, “The show spoke about marital rape and euthanasia 25 years ago, and those were not issues that were touched by even mainstream cinema. We did it commercially in a television slot which was meant for family viewing and family drama. You need to understand that 25 years ago, there was no pay parity, where your talent decided and not your gender about how much you will be paid. The fact that Ekta was given a 10:30 slot, which was a dead slot, we created prime time. But that was a female producer, so you had a female producer shunted to a 10:30 slot, they thought maybe you know, let’s take a chance.”

‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2’ will air on Star Plus at 10:30 PM. It will also be available to watch on JioHotstar.
