Drama Off-Screen: Ekta Kapoor’s Fight with Lead Actor on Set of “Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi” Revival

The television world is abuzz again as “Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi,” the iconic TV serial that once crowned Ekta Kapoor as the undisputed queen of television, has made a grand return after 25 years. But only a handful of episodes into the new season, headlines are less about the show’s story and more about real drama brewing behind the scenes.

According to industry reports, a major confrontation broke out on the set between producer Ekta Kapoor and one of the lead actors. Sources say the argument did not happen in front of the entire cast and crew, but word spread quickly with many insiders now aware of the tension. The friction apparently stemmed from Ekta’s dissatisfaction with the actor’s performance, leading to a sharp exchange. While the specifics remain under wraps, and neither the channel nor the show’s team has released an official statement, the situation has everyone talking.

The show, which relaunched last week on July 29, stars Smriti Irani and Amar Upadhyay reprising their legendary roles as Tulsi and Mihir. Fans have welcomed them back, and the first episode racked up an impressive 2 million impressions, with TRPs climbing steadily ever since. The nostalgia factor is high, and audiences are emotionally invested in the series’ return.

Despite this success, Ekta Kapoor is keeping a close watch on every detail. She knows the value of the show, both personally and professionally—after all, “Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi” was the serial that launched her career and made her a household name. This level of involvement could explain her reaction over any performance that she deems below par, especially given the stakes and expectations riding on the show’s reboot.

The drama within the show itself has captivated viewers. Smriti Irani resumes her iconic portrayal of Tulsi, while Amar Upadhyay returns as Mihir. The plot centers on Tulsi and Mihir not only raising their own children but also taking in and raising three more—the offspring of Tulsi’s late sister. The show’s narrative now revolves around the lives and challenges of these three siblings, providing plenty of emotional and dramatic moments for the audience.

As speculation over the on-set altercation intensifies, producers are working to ensure that the drama remains restricted to the screen. The identity of the actor involved has allegedly been revealed among industry circles, but is being kept secret to prevent any negative publicity from affecting the show’s growing popularity.

Fans are hopeful that these behind-the-scenes issues will be resolved quickly, and the show can continue to deliver the nostalgia and entertainment they’re eagerly tuning in for. Whether this real-life drama will impact the chemistry on-screen remains to be seen, but for now, the spotlight is equally on the story unfolding behind the cameras.
