“It’s a conversation many hesitate to initiate, but children need clarity,” Tanisha Mehta aka Vrinda on Garima’s Kidnap Episode in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi

In the ongoing track of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, viewers witnessed an emotionally stirring phase where Garima, Pari’s daughter, was kidnapped but fortunately returned home safe and unharmed. The incident becomes a turning point in the narrative as Tulsi gently explains the concept of good touch and bad touch to Garima, initiating an essential and often uncomfortable conversation about child safety and awareness.

Reflecting on this powerful storyline, Tanisha Mehta, who essays the role of Vrinda, shares her thoughts,

“Through this storyline, I felt the importance of addressing good touch and bad touch with sincerity and responsibility. It’s a conversation many hesitate to initiate, but children need clarity about boundaries from a young age. Awareness gives them understanding, and understanding gives them confidence.

I strongly believe that every child should grow up knowing that their comfort and safety come first, and that they can speak up without fear or hesitation. When we normalise these discussions at home, we replace silence with trust  and that can truly make a difference.”

In the previous episode, Tulsi had explained Garima the crucial difference between “good touch” and “bad touch,” helping her understand that any touch which makes her feel uncomfortable or unsafe must be spoken about immediately. The sequence was handled with clarity and care, making it both impactful and accessible for families watching together.
