By Gossips TV : Akashdeep Saigal’s return to Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 has quickly turned into a talking point among viewers, with his new role creating both curiosity and criticism. The actor, who originally played Ansh in the iconic show, is now seen in a fresh avatar as Rio, introduced as Tulsi’s grandson in the sequel.
The development has led to confusion among a section of the audience, mainly due to the perceived age gap between the actor and the character he portrays. Many viewers feel that the casting does not align convincingly with the storyline, questioning how the narrative justifies the generational shift. Social media reactions reflect this concern, with users pointing out that the character dynamics appear inconsistent.
Despite the chatter, Akashdeep Saigal has addressed the discussion, stating that acting goes beyond numbers and age, focusing instead on presence and performance. He emphasized that his new character carries a distinct personality, separate from his earlier role, and should be viewed independently within the evolving storyline.
He also expressed appreciation for the makers, including Ekta Kapoor, crediting their vision and approach to storytelling. According to him, working on the sequel offers an opportunity to explore a different creative space rather than revisiting the past.
While the debate around casting continues, the track has certainly managed to generate attention. It remains to be seen how the narrative unfolds and whether the audience gradually connects with this new phase of the show.
