Ekta Kapoor, the visionary behind Balaji Telefilms, celebrated the 25th anniversary of Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii, a landmark family drama that premiered on Star Plus on October 16, 2000, and transformed Indian television. Sharing a nostalgic montage of iconic scenes on social media, Kapoor reflected on the show’s legacy, crediting its success to lead actors Sakshi Tanwar and Kiran Karmakar, alongside creative talents like Mitu, Prashant, Dheeraj, Mahesh, and Sandip. “At 25, making a show on family values, culture, and an older couple that stands for morality, love, and warmth… was ironical,” Kapoor wrote, hailing the series as a “beacon of hope” for cultural representation.

Running for eight years until October 9, 2008, Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii became a cultural phenomenon, captivating audiences with its portrayal of Parvati and Om Agarwal’s family dynamics, rooted in Indian traditions and likened to the Ramayana. Starring Tanwar as Parvati and Karmakar as Om, alongside Ali Asgar, Achint Kaur, and others, the show competed fiercely with Kapoor’s Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, with matriarchs Parvati and Tulsi becoming household icons. Its 10 PM slot glued millions to their screens, cementing its place in Indian TV’s golden era.

The anniversary post sparked an outpouring of fan nostalgia, with comments praising the show’s emotional depth and timeless appeal. Recent integrations of Parvati and Om into Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’s second season, as seen in a Star Plus promo featuring both shows’ leads, have further fueled excitement. The clip, showcasing Mihir, Tulsi, Om, and Parvati together, rekindled memories for viewers, amplifying the show’s enduring cultural impact.
