The latest twist in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 has sparked a wave of mixed reactions online, with viewers questioning the logic behind a key character’s return. The show recently hinted at the re-entry of Ansh Gujral’s legacy through his son, played by Akashdeep Saigal but not everyone is convinced.
Akashdeep Saigal`s entry as Tulsi`s grandson sparks buzz
In the episode, a mysterious young man named Reyansh makes a dramatic entry, interrupting a tense confrontation and leaving Tulsi stunned due to his striking resemblance to Ansh. The storyline soon suggests that he is Ansh’s son, a reveal designed to add emotional depth and revive a pivotal arc from the original series. However, instead of universal excitement, the twist has triggered skepticism among viewers.
Netizens not impressed
Many social media users pointed out that the casting choice raised questions, particularly regarding the actor’s appearance. Several felt that the portrayal did not align with expectations of a younger character. One viewer remarked that the actor “looks quite old,” while another questioned the credibility of the timeline, suggesting it didn’t convincingly fit the narrative.
Viewers also critised the makers for not casting the character in the age bracket that they were actually focusing on.
The criticism largely stems from the show’s legacy. The original series had iconic, tightly woven storylines, especially involving Tulsi and Ansh, making fans more sensitive to continuity and casting accuracy. As a result, any attempt to revisit that history comes with heightened scrutiny.
Despite the backlash, the twist has undeniably generated buzz, drawing attention to the evolving storyline. The return of a character linked to Ansh is expected to introduce fresh drama within the Virani family and potentially reshape relationships moving forward. While some fans remain unconvinced, others are intrigued to see how the narrative unfolds.
The makers appear to be banking on nostalgia while blending it with new conflicts, a strategy that often divides audiences. Whether this bold move will ultimately win viewers over or continue to face criticism remains to be seen, but it has certainly reignited conversations around one of Indian television’s most iconic shows.
