However, eventually, she forms a place in their hearts and turns to become their favourite daughter-in-law and member. Kanak Desai, Gehna’s sister-in-law, proves to be the biggest blockage in Gehna’s path to her dreams. However, with Anant, Gehna faces Kanak and studies, on an aim to becoming a lawyer.

Production
Development
In July 2020, Devoleena Bhattacharjee signed the contract for the new season with the production under plans since a year before.[5][6] Admist this, the rap by Yashraj Mukhate released on 21 August 2020 went viral and the re-run of the series Saath Nibhaana Saathiya during the Coronavirus lockdown was garnering good ratings which made the makers to immediately start production of the new season of the series and released the first promo on 31 August 2020 featuring Bhattacharjee reprising her role of Gopi Modi while the casting was not even started.[7]
Reboot series
On 26 May 2021, Shoonya Square Productions announced that they will be producing a reboot version of Saath Nibhaana Saathiya on Star Plus's Sister channel Star Bharat with similar cast figures like Giaa Manek, Mohammad Nazim, Rupal Patel and Vandana Vithlani reprising their roles.[8][9] Along with these actors, they will be several new characters with a different storyline but the same concept of a Gujarati joint family.[10] In early July 2021 the title was finalized as Tera Mera Saath Rahe.[11] The reboot version started broadcasting from 16 August 2021.
Filming
Based on the backdrop of Surat, in Gujarat, the series is completely filmed at the Ramdev Studio in Naigaon.[12]
On 14 April 2021, shooting halted due to COVID-19 precautions set by Uddhav Thackeray, the chief minister of Maharashtra. On 18 and 19 April, the entire team of Saath Nibhaana Saathiya 2 shifted their base to Agra and continued shooting there till early June.[13]
Release
The first promo of the series was released on 31 August 2020 featuring Bhattacharjee reprising her role of Gopi from the former season.[14] On 1 October 2020, a new promo revealed Bhattacharjee playing Gopi introduced Sneha Jain and Harsh Nagar as the lead characters, Gehna and Anant.[15] In the next promo released on 14 October 2020, Rupal Patel was shown reprising her role as Kokila Modi. The series premiered on 19 October 2020 at 9.00 pm time slot on StarPlus.[16]
Concept
The main plot of the series is taken from Star Jalsha's Bengali series Ke Apon Ke Por, even though some parts of the story are removed from the plot of Saath Nibhaana Saathiya 2. The extension of the first season's story is shown as the sub plot in this season merged with the main story, featuring Devoleena Bhattacharjee, Mohammad Nazim, Rupal Patel, Swati Shah, Vandana Vithlani and Manish Arora from the former series, only during the initial 30 episodes of the series.
Casting
With the release of first promo, Devoleena Bhattacharjee, Rupal Patel and Mohammad Nazim were confirmed reprising their roles of Gopi, Kokila and Ahem Modi/Jaggi Modi (double role).[17][18][19] Vishal Singh confirmed being approached for reprising their role of Jigar Modi, but finally declined it.[20] Rucha Hasabnis declined to reprise her role as Rashi Modi in the new season, as her character had died in the former season and that she did not wish to perform a role in a typical family drama.[21]
On 13 September 2020, Sneha Jain and Harsh Nagar were confirmed to reprise their lead roles as Gehna and Anant.[22] Soon, with the first look of the series, Vandana Vittlanee, Swati Shah and Manish Arora were confirmed reprising their roles of Urmila Shah, Hetal Modi and Parag Modi from the former season.[23] Besides the former season's cast and the leads, Jay Pathak, Akanksha Juneja, Nadia Himani, Prakash Vaghela, Aliraza Namdar and Anuradha Kanabar were cast to perform the recurring roles of the show.
Soon, it was revealed that the cast from the first season were only shooting for a few episodes in order to introduce the new leads of the show. In mid-November 2020, the entire cast of the former season quit the series due to the promoter's demand on having only one track and that the show completely focused on the original show, Ke Apon Ke Por.[24]
In June 2021, lead actress, Akanksha Juneja took a break from the sets. During her absence, the show focused on Hema Desai aka Nadia Himani. The show also changed the storyline slightly due to Juneja's absence and introduced a new character, Krishna, played by Sanket Chouske.[25]
Reception
Critics
The Times of India reviewed, "Ahem's mysterious presence in Gopi's life, Kokila's sass and injustice towards Gehna will keep you hooked."[26] India Today criticized the launch of the new season as unnecessary and on the other hand criticizing the former season saying, "During the course of seven years, the show took three major leaps – eight years, 10 years and four years. That is 22 years in total. Yet they've something left to tell the audience? Needless to say, how the show turned to be ridiculous on several occasions. Saath Nibhaana Saathiya tried to be progressive but the show was regressive to the core."[27][28][29]
