The Unforgettable Characters of Kyunki

Amba “Baa” Virani – Sudha Shivpuri
The matriarch of the Virani family, Baa was the voice of wisdom, always ready with sage advice and emotional strength that held the family together.

Tulsi Virani – Smriti Irani
The moral center of the Virani household, Tulsi became the prototype for the ideal Indian bahu—strong, nurturing, and fiercely principled. Her emotional depth and steely resolve made her a fan favorite.

Mihir Virani – Amar Upadhyay / Ronit Roy
The romantic lead whose multiple "deaths" caused national heartbreak. Mihir’s bond with Tulsi remains one of the most memorable love stories in Indian television history.

Gautam Virani – Sumeet Sachdev
The once-lost and later-returned son brought a rebel’s edge to the family drama, eventually cementing his place in the Virani legacy.

Jamnadas “JD” Virani – Muni Jha
A steady presence in the family, JD upheld the Virani legacy and values with quiet strength.

Suhasi Virani – Pooja Ghai Rawal
Daughter of Daksha and Himmat Virani, Suhasi brought balance and grace, though often underrated in the saga.

Krishna Tulsi (KT) – Mouni Roy
Tulsi’s spiritual heir, KT was the next-gen face of family values and emotional resilience. Her romance with Lakshay brought new energy to the storyline.

Mayank – Rahoul Lohani
A character with emotional depth, Mayank struggled with mental health, and his story added layers of realism and compassion to the show.
