Veteran actor and former Union Minister Smriti Irani has firmly dismissed rumours of a spin-off to Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, making it clear that she is not associated with any such project. The speculation picked up on social media after reports claimed that a separate show, tentatively titled Kyunki Rishton Ke Bhi Roop Badalte Hain, was being planned around younger characters such as Angad and Vrinda.
Rumours Around a New Show
Entertainment pages and social media accounts recently circulated claims that the Kyunki universe could expand beyond the main Virani family storyline. Some reports suggested the proposed show would focus on Angad and Vrinda, played by Rohit Suchanti and Tanisha Mehta, while offering a more contemporary relationship-driven narrative.
Smriti Irani’s Clear Response
Smriti Irani addressed the speculation directly and left little room for confusion. Reacting to the reports, she wrote: “You may want to verify PR content with the entities that hold IP rights. I am not linked to any other show apart from Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. No spin-off project has been legally authorized for my involvement that permits the use of my image and/or personality. Please verify to ensure viewers are not misled.”
Her response also served as a warning against the unauthorised use of her name, image, or personality in connection with any proposed spin-off.
Context Around the Reboot
The renewed buzz comes as Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 has brought back Smriti Irani and Amar Upadhyay as Tulsi and Mihir Virani, more than 25 years after the original pair became one of Indian television’s most recognisable on-screen couples. Recent coverage has also noted that the current storyline includes younger characters such as Angad and Vrinda, which likely added fuel to the spin-off speculation.
What It Means Now
For now, Smriti Irani’s statement has effectively shut down the speculation. As things stand, there is no confirmed spin-off announcement linked to her involvement, and the focus remains on the current run of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2.
