A leaked image from Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 showing an allegedly drunk Mihir hugging Noina has triggered outrage among viewers, who accuse the makers of ruining the original show’s legacy.

Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi remains one of the most cherished and iconic shows in Indian television history. With the much-anticipated new season premiering yesterday, it was a wave of nostalgia for long-time fans. There are reports doing the rounds that the show might be going off-air soon.

Two of Indian television’s most iconic shows from the 2000s — Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi and Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii — had once redefined the small screen, setting new benchmarks for family dramas.
