Smriti Irani’s Kyunki 2 Farewell Puts the Crew in Frame
Smriti Irani shares a behind-the-scenes goodbye to Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2, turning the camera on the DOP, director and crew before the show wraps.
Smriti Irani is closing Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 by turning the lens away from the stars and onto the people who usually stay invisible. As the Star Plus show prepares to end its latest chapter, the actor-politician shared a behind-the-scenes farewell video that introduces the technical and production team behind the drama.
A farewell that starts behind the camera
The clip opens with Irani beside co-stars Amar Upadhyay and Hiten Tejwani, then moves quickly to the crew. She introduces the director of photography and his team, and follows with the director and the direction unit — the people who frame, light and call the shots.
Sharing the video on social media, Irani wrote, “Before the curtains come down .. meet the people behind the magic,” while tagging the show and adding heart emojis.
In an industry built on faces, the moment is a small but meaningful switch: the people who make a daily soap run are rarely given a public bow.
Why the crew shout-out matters
Indian television has always been star-first. But a show like Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 rests on the shoulders of dozens of off-screen professionals — camera operators, light technicians, continuity supervisors, assistants and production staff. By naming them in her goodbye, Irani turns the final moments into a credit roll with warmth.
It also arrives at a time when behind-the-scenes content has become a language of fandom. OTT platforms and social accounts have trained viewers to look past the frame, and a farewell video that centres the crew feels both generous and current.

The Virani world, 25 years on
The sequel revisits the Virani family 25 years after the original series. Tulsi Virani returns to Shantiniketan after a decade-long prison sentence, having taken responsibility for a family tragedy. What she walks back into is a household reshaped by power struggles, unresolved conflicts and generational differences.
The next-generation heirs — Angad, Vrinda and Karan — bring new tensions, while Tulsi once again tries to protect her family, repair fractured relationships and preserve the values tied to Shantiniketan. Produced by Ekta Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor under Balaji Telefilms, the show airs on Star Plus in its flagship prime-time slot.
What to watch for next
Irani’s video lands as a full-circle gesture: the actor most associated with Tulsi Virani is saying goodbye by making the crew visible. For fans, it is a reminder that the last frame is only the final step in a process handled by many hands. Keep an eye on Star Plus for the show’s closing moments and any last word from the Virani family.
