Amar Upadhyay’s Comeback As Mihir Has Created Waves On The Internet, The Pop Culture Watchdog

The legendary television drama Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi has officially made its comeback with Season 2, premiering on July 29th on StarPlus and streaming anytime on JioCinema. Once a household ritual that defined Indian primetime viewing, the show returns with a fresh narrative while still holding on to the emotional depth, family dynamics, and iconic characters that made it a cultural phenomenon. Fans from across generations are tuning in again, not just out of nostalgia but to see what this new chapter unfolds.

At the center of this much-awaited return is none other than Amar Upadhyay, reprising his role as the unforgettable Mihir Virani. Often dubbed as Indian television's first-ever male superstar, Amar's portrayal of Mihir in the early 2000s was not just a performance, it was an era. His character became a benchmark for the ideal son, husband, and man of values, earning him an almost mythic status among viewers. In Season 2, Amar steps back into Mihir's shoes with the same grace, maturity, and emotional gravity that once made the nation weep, smile, and believe in family-centric storytelling.

Such is the excitement around his return that even popular pop-culture watchdog Diet Sabya posted a story saying, "Not our joke truly manifesting Mihir." The internet has exploded with fans reminiscing about Tulsi, Baa, and the era of sanskaari soap operas, with Amar's warm smile front and center.

Speaking about the revival, Amar expressed how surreal and humbling it felt to return to a show that shaped his career and the television landscape itself. He also shared how the set feels like a second home, working alongside familiar faces like Smriti Irani and many new, talented additions to the cast.

As the first episode of Season 2 sets the tone with powerful performances and layered storytelling, it's clear: Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi isn't just back. It never really left our hearts.
