How Smriti Irani Reacted To Returning To Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi After 25 Years
Smriti Irani became a household name with her character Tulsi Virani in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi.
Speaking about how the show had become a pop-culture phenomenon, she said, "When I first stepped into Tulsi's world, I couldn't have imagined how far her story would travel - not just into living rooms, but into the hearts of millions across India. Tulsi wasn't just a character. She became a daughter, a mother, a friend, and, for many, a reflection of their own strength, sacrifice, and conviction."
She added, "It broke every metric of success not through numbers alone, but through emotion. Families paused their lives to watch it together. Debates, laughter, and tears flowed around one name, Tulsi. Even when she left the screen, Tulsi never truly left the audience. Strangers continued to meet me not as Smriti, but as Tulsi, because she lived on in memories, rituals, and homes. That kind of legacy isn't scripted. It's received, with folded hands and a grateful heart."
"And now, 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," concluded the actress turned politician.
In A Nutshell
Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi Reboot series will air on Star Plus from July 29, 2025, at 10:30 PM. As the makers revealed the first look of Smriti Irani returning as Tulsi Virani, the internet was abuzz with positive reactions as they expressed their anticipation for the same.
