Amar Upadhyay on Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’s Good Touch–Bad Touch Track: “The Discomfort Around the Topic Is Real, But Our Children’s Safety Is Far More Important”

Star Plus has become known for telling stories that go beyond daily drama and entertainment. Its shows have often reflected real emotions, real struggles, and real conversations happening inside Indian homes. Among them, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi remains one of the most iconic. More than just a family show, it created space for meaningful discussions through characters that felt like part of the audience’s own families.

In recent track, the show once again proves why it continues to stay relevant. After Pari’s daughter, Garima, goes through a traumatic kidnapping incident, a very gentle moment is shown as Tulsi sits down with Garima and speaks to her about something many families still hesitate to address: the difference between good touch and bad touch. Tulsi reassures Garima that it is always right to speak up, that no child should feel scared or ashamed to voice discomfort.

Speaking about this important track, Amar Upadhyay, who plays Mihir, shared that while such conversations may feel uncomfortable, they are extremely important. He expressed that normalising these discussions helps build awareness and creates a safer environment for children.

Amar Upadhyay shared, “As someone associated with a show that reaches millions of homes, I feel it is our responsibility to go beyond entertainment. Speaking about good touch and bad touch is not just a storyline; it is a necessary conversation. The discomfort around the topic is real, but our children’s safety is far more important than our hesitation.

Speaking about the importance of addressing such sensitive issues on television, he shared, “Teaching children the difference empowers them with awareness, confidence, and the courage to speak up. They need to know their voice matters and that they will be heard. If this encourages even one family to begin that conversation at home, then we have taken a meaningful step toward building a safer environment for our children.”

The show is sparking real conversations inside homes, encouraging parents and children to communicate openly. By addressing consent and safety sensitively, it proves that television can influence mindsets and inspire meaningful change.
