Overview
- Saigal, cast as Reyansh in the revived Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, dismissed age-gap criticism with Smriti Irani as fleeting “noise” driven by insecurity.
- He described Reyansh as a calm, calculating presence in contrast to his earlier role as Ansh, which he called “the storm.”
- The actor voiced firm faith in producer Ekta Kapoor, calling her a visionary who focuses on the show’s audience rather than online detractors.
- He said he is also working on Naagin 7 and framed doing both shows as an energizing “flow” rather than a burden.
- The reboot, led by returning favorites and a younger ensemble, will air on television and stream on JioHotstar, extending a franchise that first ran from 2000 to 2008.
