Producer Ekta Kapoor has confirmed she is set to remake her groundbreaking 2000 daily soap "Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi", teasing that show`s lead star Smriti Irani, now a politician, may return. The show, which ran for about eight years between 2000 and 2008, was co-produced by Shobha Kapoor and Ekta Kapoor under their banner Balaji Telefilms. It ran for a total of 1,833 episodes. "Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi", which defined the dynamics of Indian family dramas in the early 2000s, revolves around Irani`s Tulsi, who was the ideal daughter-in-law of the wealthy Virani family.

Kapoor, who tasted massive success with the Star Plus series, said she hopes to hit the 2000-episode milestone with the remake. "I`m re-making the biggest show I ever made. It gave me an identity, and then I had to fight a lot to make other things. But it became what I was known for. But because of my problems as a production house with another big corporate, the programme ended (with) 160 episodes less before it completed its big 2000 (episode milestone). "The love we have received for this programme has brought everyone who is attached to it back to complete just those episodes to reach that 2000 (number). The show deserves that," she said on day two of India Global Forum here on Tuesday evening.
