Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 has been a hit with viewers, grabbing the top spot in the TRP chart week after week. The Smriti Irani-starrer has been delivering quite a few shockers and kept the episodes dramatic so far, but no one anticipated the twist in its latest episode. It was Akashdeep Saigal who returned to Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 as Ansh Gujral’s son.
What happened in the episode?
In the episode, Tulsi, aka Smriti Irani, sees Riyo for the first time, and is speechless. She is too shocked to say anything. Akashdeep Saigal, who played the role of Ansh in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi season 1, is back! He is now seen as Ansh’s son, Riyo.
How internet reacted
Even as a section of social media praised the twist and the performance of Smriti Irani in the episode, there were many who were not convinced. One user noted, “He is not looking the part of his son, if I am honest.” Another said, “Beta baap se bhi bada lag rha hai (The son is looking older than the father).” A second user hilariously commented, “Kyunki papa bhi kabhi beta tha!” “They could have cast any young actor what is this?” asked another.
“Now what will happen after this return?” asked a fan. “There will be more changes to the story I am sure!” predicted another. “How can he return? Did he do plastic surgery? I want answers,” read a comment.
For the unversed, Akashdeep played antagonist Ansh Gujral in the first season. His arc ended when Tulsi, played by Smriti Irani, shot him. Now in the latest episode, he is shown to be living with Karan (Hiten Tejwani) and calls him ‘papa’. This revelation leaves Tulsi stunned as he looks exactly like Ansh.
