JioStar reignites the Kyunki effect, locks in eight big-brand sponsors

MUMBAI: The much-anticipated return of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi has sent waves of excitement across living rooms and boardrooms. Ahead of its July 29 premiere, eight marquee brands have already signed on, betting big on the enduring cultural clout of the daily prime-time juggernaut.

On Star Plus, Tide+, Kalyan Jewellers, and Maruti Suzuki India co-present the show, with Fortune Soyabean Oil, Colgate, and Smart Bazaar joining as co-powered sponsors. Over on JioHotstar, Kalyan Jewellers and Maruti Suzuki return as co-presenters, alongside Fortune Chakki Fresh Atta, UTI Mutual Fund, and Smart Bazaar, bringing the brand tally to a powerful eight across platforms.

The advertiser playbook spans everything from TV integrations and graphic placements to JioHotstar’s arsenal of branded feature trays, pause ads, co-branded vignettes, and even interactive quizzes, ensuring visibility from screen to stream.

“The return of Kyunki is a full-spectrum media moment. The show is a multi-generational IP which brings together a powerful blend of nostalgia, reach and cultural depth, which helps connect family members together, each finding their own story in the same narrative. Very few properties offer that kind of intergenerational resonance today, and Kyunki delivers on that with precision.We’re thrilled to see such strong interest from brands who recognise the long-term value this property offers across both TV and digital,” said JioStar head of revenue, entertainment & international, Ajit Varghese.

Produced by Balaji Telefilms, the reboot marks 25 years since the show’s debut, bringing back Smriti Irani’s iconic Tulsi and Amar Upadhyay’s Mihir while introducing a new generation to the Virani universe. With a seven-day-a-week schedule and a dual-platform strategy marrying Star Plus’s reach with JioHotstar’s precision targeting, Kyunki is set to be 2025’s tentpole event for viewers and advertisers alike.
