Do you think this affects current shows like Anupamaa?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">Rajan reacted by appreciating Ektaa Kapoor\u2019s series, saying that \u201cKyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi&#8221; will always remain a legend and added that it was after this show that Indian serials were started to be taken seriously.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">Speaking to IANS, he said: \u201cSee, I always say this\u2014if there is Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, it will always remain a legend. Ekta Kapoor ji, Smriti Irani ji, Balaji, and Star Plus gave Indian television the respect it deserved through that show. Before that, serials were not taken so seriously.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">Rajan revealed that he even messaged Ektaa after watching the promo of their recent show, telling her that they both are catering to different generations now.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">\u201cShows like that are not in the TRP rat race. They come to tell a story. Hats off to them. We respect each other as makers&#8221;, he added.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">Rajan stated that their job is not to compete but to create meaningful stories.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">\u201cAt the end of the day, legends like Kyunki and fresh shows like Anupamaa cannot be compared. Both have their own space in history,&#8221; he concluded.<\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">Led by Smriti Irani and Amar Upadhyay, the \u201cKyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi&#8221; Reboot made its way back to the screen on July 29, 25 years after its original debut.<\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\">Season two of the iconic show shot up on the TRP charts, giving a tough fight to already popular shows like \u201cAnupamaa&#8221; and \u201cTaarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah&#8221;, which had been ruling the TRP charts for years.<\/p>\n<p><i class=\"disclaimer-content\">(This story has not been edited by News18 staff and is published from a syndicated news agency feed &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/agency\/ians.html\">IANS<\/a>)<\/i><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-16-at-6.06.37-PM-2025-05-7a43dea8a912d72bcedea7a66b5cfe01.jpeg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/anindita.mukherjee-28213.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Anindita.Mukherjee<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Anindita Mukherjee works as a Senior Sub-Editor in the Entertainment team at News18 Showsha.
