Production
editDevelopment
editFollowing a positive response to the reboot version, a separate storyline featuring Angad and Vrinda, initially as an extension of Kyunki Saas... , was launched which was telecasted in the later part of the episodes.[6] Subsequently it was developed into a standalone spin-off.[4]
It was rumoured that the show would eventually replace the parent series.[7] However, the channel debunked these rumours by issuing an official statement clarifying that the claims were false and that Kyunki Saas... was not ending anytime soon.[8]
Amid rumours surrounding a proposed spin-off of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, along with the circulation of unauthorised promotional content suggesting her involvement, Smriti Irani issued a legal warning against the misuse of her name and image.[9] Irani clarified that she is not involved in any such project.[10]
