Smriti Irani, the actress-turned-politician, has recently expressed her heartfelt wishes for peace and success to Ektaa Kapoor, the renowned television producer. This sentiment comes amidst the buzz surrounding the revival of their iconic show, "Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi," which is reportedly returning to television screens with both Irani and Amar Upadhyay reprising their original roles.
Irani's journey to stardom is inextricably linked to Kapoor, who selected her for the role of Tulsi Virani in "Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi," transforming her into a household name and one of India's most beloved "bahus" (daughters-in-law). Irani, who had previously worked at McDonald's to make ends meet, has often credited Kapoor with giving her the opportunity that changed her life.
The bond between Irani and Kapoor extends beyond their professional collaboration. Sources suggest a deep mutual respect and understanding between the two women, who have both carved their own distinct paths to success. Irani transitioned from a successful acting career to become a prominent political figure, holding key ministerial portfolios in the Indian government, including Minister of Women and Child Development. Kapoor, on the other hand, has continued to dominate the Indian television industry with her production house, Balaji Telefilms, creating numerous popular shows.
The return of "Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi" is generating considerable excitement among fans who have long awaited the comeback of the iconic show. Reports indicate that the reboot will be a limited series, carefully crafted to blend nostalgia with contemporary storytelling. The show's original opening sequence, featuring Tulsi welcoming viewers into her home, will reportedly remain unchanged.
Irani is reportedly working diligently to reprise her role as Tulsi Virani, and Amar Upadhyay's exit from his previous show, "Doree," is attributed to his decision to join the "Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi" revival. According to reports, the team plans to make an official announcement in June 2025, with production already underway.
Given Irani's current position as a prominent politician, security measures are reportedly being taken very seriously on set. According to reports, Smriti Irani has commenced shooting for the series under Z+ security. Strict protocols have been put in place, including taping of phones and restricted footfall near the sets.
Irani's well wishes for Kapoor's peace and success underscore the enduring friendship and professional respect between the two women. As "Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi" prepares to make its comeback, Irani's message resonates with the hopes and expectations of countless viewers who eagerly anticipate the return of Tulsi Virani and the magic she brings to the screen.
