“I’m happy that they’re planning to bring Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi back. But unfortunately, it didn’t work out for me. It’s a show that’s very close to my heart. I dedicated eight years of my life to it. I wish the makers, cast, and crew all the best. I’m excited to watch it.”

Ronit Roy further explained why he declined the offer to return to the show. He said,
“I’m against doing long-running shows or staying on television for extended periods. As I’ve said before, there’s still a lot that needs to change on TV. It’s been 25 years since I started, and the world has changed significantly. Certain things need to be fixed in the television space. Only after that will I consider coming back. Until then, I’m happy where I am.”
