Premise
The Modi family are seen to be heading their way into the Desai house, where Kokila finds her old long lost brother Praful. It is seen that in the Desai house Gehna initially works as a house helper. Gopi discovers that her ex-husband Ahem was actually alive and not dead, as he was saved by Gehna. The Modi's retrieve their Ahem, who they had considered to be dead. They head back to Rajkot.
It is then seen that due to certain circumstances, Gehna marries the youngest son of the family, Anant Desai, and turns into the daughter-in-law of the house. The story initially focuses on the trials of life that the couple go through mainly caused by Gehna's sister-in-law Kanak. However, due to lack of trust, the Desais' keep misunderstanding Gehna, causing her to leave the house to keep her self respect at height. Anant dies in a hideous accident and six months later, Gehna calls herself Kamya, and while hiding her identity, she is on a quest to get justice for Anant by punishing his killers in the eyes of law. During this path, she crosses paths with a reputed photographer Surya Seth. They get married later on.

Production
Development
In July 2020, Devoleena Bhattacharjee signed the contract for the new season with the production under plans since a year before.[7][8] 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.[9]
Filming
Based on the backdrop of Surat, in Gujarat, the series is completely filmed at the Ramdev Studio in Naigaon.[10]
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.[11]
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).[13][14][15] Vishal Singh confirmed being approached for reprising their role of Jigar Modi, but finally declined it.[16] 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.[17]
On 13 September 2020, Sneha Jain and Harsh Nagar were confirmed to reprise their lead roles as Gehna and Anant.[18] 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.[5] 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.[6]
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.[19]
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."[20] 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."[21][22][23]
