'We Have Managed To Recreate History': Smriti Irani On Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 TRP

Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 started airing on Star Plus last week. The show took a fantastic start with a TRP of 2.3 in its first week, and the first episode TRP was 2.5. The audience has surely welcomed the show with opens arms and now, everyone is keen to know how Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 performs in the upcoming weeks.

Recently, during an interview with Filmibeat, when Smriti Irani was asked about feeling pressure about TRP, the actress-politician said, "I think we have set the benchmark. So, there's nobody else to compete with but us. But, I also understand that when we began the show (25 years ago), there was no social media, there was no OTT, there was no fragmented audience, we had no PR, we had no hoarding, we had no Instagram to tell our viewers what is upcoming or who is in the cast. Nobody had any followers anywhere. So, to have our hands tied behind and still manage to give such an excellent product, for that time was historical."

She added, "Today's history has been created because there are no shows that can come back after 25 years, and still be successful with the same cast, with the same production house, on the same network. So, I think we have managed to recreate history. For us today, we are free from the pressures of revenue or numbers because we have already proven our mark."
