Actor Akashdeep Saigal’s return to Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 has surprised fans, especially after his re-entry episode went viral online. Originally known for playing Tulsi Virani’s son Ansh Gujral, he now appears as her grandson in the reboot. However, many viewers feel the 51-year-old actor looks too old for the role.
Akashdeep has now reacted to the feedback he has been getting from the audience. He wrote on his Instagram handle, "There is so much joy in sharing this beautiful journey with all of you. I recently had such a lovely, heartfelt conversation with Sachi. we spoke about the architectural destiny of returning to Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, The beautiful spiritual evolution required to step from Ansh into Reyansh and the absolute gratitude."
"I feel coming back to a legacy that means so much to us all. Sometimes, when these conversations are shared with the world, the focus naturally drifts toward the external noise or the fleeting shadows that exist in the public space. And that is perfectly okay. I hold space for that with complete compassion and understanding," he further added.
