The serial's first shot was taken on April 7, 2000. Little did the producers know then that the serial would scale such heights. In fact, during the entire span of the serial, Kyunki firmly held on to its position as the numero uno of all serials.

It registered the highest rating when Mihir Virani returned home alive -- on public demand -- after being 'killed' in an accident.
