Why Ekta Kapoor Choose To Reboot The Show?

The equilibrium between worry and management? “Can we discuss topics we often avoid today?” a section of her post stated.
Kyunki 2 was supposed to happen previously?
In a recent podcast featuring Barkha Singh and Karan Johar, Smriti Irani stated that Kyunki 2 was originally intended to happen a long time ago. In her discussion with Karan Johar, she mentioned that she was meant to begin work on the show's rebooted edition much earlier, but was unable to do so due to having to take an oath as a minister.
