Overview

• The series premiered July 29 on Star Plus and JioHotstar, marking the return of Smriti Irani and Amar Upadhyay as Tulsi and Mihir Virani in a limited-run season slated to conclude within a year.
• Episode one blends iconic elements—such as the original title track and a montage of past highlights—with updated sets, modular kitchens and storylines addressing social media addiction.
• Producer Ektaa Kapoor dismissed comparisons with Anupamaa as “unfair and unnecessary” and supported a crossover promo in which Rupali Ganguly’s Anupamaa warmly welcomes Tulsi back.
• Early fan reactions on social media have leaned into nostalgia for the original chemistry while noting the show’s effort to modernize its aesthetic and thematic scope.
• The reboot’s structured, time-bound approach reflects a broader shift in Hindi television toward finite, high-impact seasons rather than open-ended daily soaps.
