Television producer Ekta Kapoor has finally shared her perspective on the much-discussed leap in Star Plus’ most popular show, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, offering clarity on the creative intent behind the narrative shift. As one of Indian television’s most iconic shows undergoes a significant transition, Kapoor emphasises that the leap is rooted in emotional realism rather than dramatic finality.
According to Ekta Kapoor, the decision to introduce a leap was driven by the desire to reflect how relationships transform over time. Rather than treating the shift as an end to familiar journeys, she views it as a natural progression that mirrors real life, where bonds evolve, distance grows, and emotions take on new meanings.
