Says Ekta Kapoor, "We are always on the look out for fresh talent but this is very special since we are looking for the next generation of the Virani family. The highlight of this talent hunt is the search for Krishnatulsi who takes the mantle of Tulsi from Smriti Irani who in turn takes over the mantle of Baa."
Elaborating on the storyline, Shivani Singh Chauhan, creative head, Kyunki ..., says, "Krishnatulsi's entry is going to be on the issue of female infanticide. Tulsi will meet Krishnatulsi on the banks of the Ganga in Haridwar. Krishnatulsi will be a shadow of Tulsi's character. We will certainly show a generation gap between Tulsi and Krishnatulsi, she will be modern but with her values intact,"
