Actor Akashdeep Saigal's return to Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 has sparked a mixed reaction from fans. The actor, who played the role of Ansh Gujral in the original series, has now made a comeback as Tulsi's grandson in the reboot.
Many fans felt that Saigal looked too old for the role, but the actor has addressed the backlash in a recent Instagram post. He wrote that he understands the external noise surrounding his comeback, but wants to remind his fans that the true focus should be on the art, inner peace, and love that goes into creating a powerful character.
The original Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi aired from 2000 to 2008 and became a cultural phenomenon, with Smriti Irani's portrayal of Tulsi Virani striking a deep chord with viewers. The show has now been revived by creator Ektaa Kapoor, with several familiar faces returning to their original roles, while introducing a younger cast to add fresh dynamics to the beloved family drama.
