## Premise and cast
The story is set in Agra and centers on two sisters with very different personalities: Simar Narayan dreams of becoming a singer, while Reema Narayan dreams of becoming a model. Two close cousins, Aarav Oswal and Vivaan Oswal, fall in love with the sisters, and the marriage arrangements that follow bring the Narayan and Oswal households together.[8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iO96OsOx_A) In the opening episodes, Reema is chosen as Aarav's bride but leaves the wedding to pursue a modeling event, and Simar is asked to marry him in her place, a proposal the Oswals initially refuse.[8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iO96OsOx_A)
**Casting.** Radhika Muthukumar played the new lead, called "Choti Simar" (little Simar), with Tanya Sharma as Reema, Avinash Mukherjee as Aarav, and Karan Sharma as Vivaan.[2](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tv/news/hindi/its-confirmed-sasural-simar-ka-2-to-end-on-april-7/articleshow/99107315.cms) Jayati Bhatia, a holdover from the first season, played the matriarch Geetanjali Devi Oswal.[2](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tv/news/hindi/its-confirmed-sasural-simar-ka-2-to-end-on-april-7/articleshow/99107315.cms) Muthukumar, who was joining a serial for the first time, said she felt nervous about carrying the Simar name but was reassured by [Dipika Kakar](https://www.edgepedia.org/dipika-kakar) during their early scenes together.[9](https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/television/radhika-muthukumar-on-bagging-sasural-simar-ka-2-could-not-stop-dancing-7290238/lite/)
## Connection to the first season
The original *Sasural Simar Ka* premiered on Colors TV on 25 April 2011 and kept audiences entertained for seven years, chronicling the lives of Simar and Roli.[10](https://www.dailypioneer.com/uploads/2021/epaper/april/lucknow-english-edition-2021-04-25.pdf) Its distributor catalog lists 2,063 half-hour episodes across five internal seasons.[5](https://www.indiacast.com/wp-content/themes/indiacast/images/MIPCOM_E-BROCHURE_2024_7mb.pdf) The second season was built as a new avatar and storyline rather than a continuation of the original plot, with new characters taking precedence.[10](https://www.dailypioneer.com/uploads/2021/epaper/april/lucknow-english-edition-2021-04-25.pdf)
Dipika Kakar, who played Simar for six years in season one and won *Bigg Boss 12*, returned to launch the sequel, saying the character was "a part of me that will always stay with me".[11](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tv/news/hindi/exclusive-dipika-kakar-people-in-my-sasural-still-call-me-simar/articleshow/81617575.cms) • [10](https://www.dailypioneer.com/uploads/2021/epaper/april/lucknow-english-edition-2021-04-25.pdf) Her husband [Shoaib Ibrahim](https://www.edgepedia.org/shoaib-ibrahim), the original Prem, joined her on screen. This was planned from the start: the production approached the couple only for the opening episodes, in which the older Simar introduces the new one, and the story then passed to the new cast.[6](https://www.tv9hindi.com/entertainment/television/dipika-kakar-to-quit-sasural-simar-ka-2-story-to-focus-on-choti-simar-radhika-muthukumar-699218.html/amp) Producer Pavan Kumar later confirmed that Kakar's track in the show was over.[12](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tv/news/hindi/exclusive-dipika-kakas-track-is-over-in-sasural-simar-ka-2-says-producer-pavan-kumar/articleshow/83834193.cms)
## Storyline shifts and declining ratings
The show began as a family drama, and viewers liked the early story, but its TRP ratings fell as the serial progressed.[1](https://www.aajtak.in/entertainment/television/story/sasural-simar-ka-2-going-off-air-reason-dipika-kakar-avinash-mukherjee-radhika-muthukumar-tv-show-tmovb-1668098-2023-04-05) Almost two years into the run, the makers moved the plot into the supernatural space. Actor Karan Sharma described the shift as a natural progression, noting that saas-bahu dramas add supernatural elements when the original story is over or when they wish to experiment, and pointing to the theatrical success of *Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2*, *Bhediya*, and *Kantara* as evidence of audience appetite for fantasy.[13](https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/television-news/article/-karan-sharma-on-sasural-simar-ka-2-going-from-saas-bahu-to-fantasy-23278992)
The most consequential turn was the male lead's transformation: Aarav, played by Avinash Mukherjee, became a naag (shape-shifting serpent) and turned negative against his own family. Mukherjee said he enjoyed the part because a naag has no reference point and allowed him to improvise.[2](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tv/news/hindi/its-confirmed-sasural-simar-ka-2-to-end-on-april-7/articleshow/99107315.cms) Audience reaction was poor; press coverage of the closure stated that seeing the hero of a substantial show turn into a naag did not go down well and the ratings dropped sharply.[1](https://www.aajtak.in/entertainment/television/story/sasural-simar-ka-2-going-off-air-reason-dipika-kakar-avinash-mukherjee-radhika-muthukumar-tv-show-tmovb-1668098-2023-04-05)
**Attempts at revival.** To make the flagging tracks more interesting, the show added new cast members including Ashish Kapoor, Akash Jagga, and Shubhangi Tambale, but the new characters failed to entertain viewers.[1](https://www.aajtak.in/entertainment/television/story/sasural-simar-ka-2-going-off-air-reason-dipika-kakar-avinash-mukherjee-radhika-muthukumar-tv-show-tmovb-1668098-2023-04-05) Akash Jagga had been roped in for a lead role early in 2021, after debuting with *Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2*.[14](https://www.aajtak.in/entertainment/television/story/sasural-simar-ka-2-akash-jagga-gets-roped-after-avinash-mukherjee-tmov-1214264-2021-02-27)
## End of the run
The ending was confirmed in late March 2023: the show would go off air on 7 April 2023, with the climax sequence shot and the production wrapping on 4 April. A source associated with the show said that at a time when serials were shutting down in less than three months, a two-year run was an achievement, but that the makers felt the story had run its course and that "in the end, everything boils down to the number game".[2](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tv/news/hindi/its-confirmed-sasural-simar-ka-2-to-end-on-april-7/articleshow/99107315.cms) Hindi-language coverage framed the closure as the sequel failing to replicate the first season's magic on television.[1](https://www.aajtak.in/entertainment/television/story/sasural-simar-ka-2-going-off-air-reason-dipika-kakar-avinash-mukherjee-radhika-muthukumar-tv-show-tmovb-1668098-2023-04-05)
## Reception and distribution
The season holds a 4.1/10 rating on IMDb from 321 user votes, with the most ratings coming from India, Pakistan, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Romania.[7](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14302350/ratings/) The series was picked up for international distribution: it appears in IndiaCast's MIPCOM 2024 sales catalog as a 629-episode HD property, and it has aired on Mauritius's MBC 1 channel.[5](https://www.indiacast.com/wp-content/themes/indiacast/images/MIPCOM_E-BROCHURE_2024_7mb.pdf) • [15](https://www.mauritiustimes.com/mt/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/MT-Friday-5-April-2024.pdf) Prime Video carries the season in some markets, describing it as a family saga of the Narayan, Kashyap, and Oswal families.[16](https://www.primevideo.com/-/es/detail/0RWKSK8JNHJ4B7YO9ZSC5D6WH0)
