Sudhanshu Pandey, who gained acclaim for his role in Anupamaa, shows interest in the Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi reboot, praising Smriti Irani's iconic role as Tulsi.
Sudhanshu Pandey, who was recently seen in Karan Johar-hosted show Traitor, left audiences impressed with his role in Anupamaa. Now, as the TV industry buzzes with the reboot of the 1999 classic show Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi starring Smriti Irani, Sudhanshu has expressed his interest in joining the show if given a chance. In a recent conversation, he called Tulsi Virani his favourite on-screen character.
In an interview with Zoom, Sudhanshu shared that he believes the show has created many stars and said, 'It's an iconic show. It has created so many stars that we know of today. I would not mind; I would love to be a part of something like that."
'I never used to watch it, honestly. But whatever I have seen through bits and pieces, Smriti (Irani) was very good. Smriti says anything that comes to her mind, but there's a calmness within her that clearly reflects in her performance. That's something I really like about her. That is why I can say she was probably my favourite," he added while talking about Tulsi's character.
Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi holds a special place in Indian television history. First aired in 2000, the show became a cultural phenomenon with its rich storytelling, unforgettable characters, and emotional depth. Returning with a fresh narrative while staying true to its roots, fans are not just looking forward to the story but are also emotionally invested in seeing their beloved Tulsi back on screen.
Recently, Smriti also talked about returning to television as Tulsi when she told IANS, 'Years later, life comes full circle—not to recreate the past, but to rekindle an emotion that never truly faded. Tulsi returns not just as a character, but as a feeling. A memory. A connection that stood the test of time. In an age where stories travel fast but meaning is fleeting, this return is an invitation to pause, to remember, and to feel. Once again."
On 27th July, producer Ekta Kapoor and Smriti Irani will visit the revered Nathdwara Temple, located near Udaipur in Rajasthan, to seek blessings ahead of the show's official premiere on 29th July.
