Smriti Irani explained that when the team decided to revive the show, their intention was clear. They wanted to use the platform to speak about change, hope, and issues that are often ignored or discussed in hushed tones. Over the years, the show has been known for connecting deeply with families, and this time, it aimed to do even more.
She highlighted how the show addressed serious topics such as domestic violence, ageing, and women’s economic independence. These are subjects that affect many households but are not always openly discussed. By bringing such issues into living rooms across the country, the makers hoped to create awareness and encourage dialogue.
However, what truly stood out was a recent episode focusing on child safety. In a powerful, emotional scene, the show addressed the difference between “good touch” and “bad touch.” The message was simple yet deeply impactful: children must know that their voice matters and that their safety is non-negotiable. The scene moved viewers across the nation. Many parents appreciated the effort to explain such a sensitive topic clearly and responsibly.
At the end of her video, Smriti Irani shared an important message. She urged viewers that if they know any child who may be suffering or facing abuse, they should not remain silent. She also shared the Child Helpline number, reminding everyone that help is available and that taking action can make a difference in a child’s life.
She also raised an important question for creators and communicators. Are they only here to entertain, or do they have a larger role in society? Can television reflect reality, or can it help reshape it? These questions underline the responsibility that comes with mass communication.
The revival of the show has been supported by producer Ekta Kapoor, along with Balaji Telefilms Ltd, StarPlus, and JioStar. Together, they have attempted to combine entertainment with social awareness.
Smriti Irani concluded her message with gratitude to the audience. She thanked those who watched, questioned, and supported the show’s efforts to bring meaningful topics to light. According to her, real change begins when people are willing to listen and speak up.
