The announcement that took the internet by storm
When the makers revealed the first look of Smriti Irani as Tulsi Virani yesterday, social media went by storm.
Fans could not hide their happiness over the return of their beloved character after 25 years.
The reboot of “Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi” will be a limited series of just 150 episodes, bringing back the same original cast that ruled the hearts of people in the 2000s.
Fan reactions: Pure nostalgia
“It feels like home, and I feel like an 8-year-old kid again,” said an emotional fan.
Others dropped heartfelt comments:
- “It’s not just a show – it’s an emotion that changed Indian TV forever”
- “Goosebumps, dammit!!!!!”
- “Finally Smriti madam proves that career has no limits”
Competition with Anupamaa
Some viewers are already buzzing about a potential ratings battle with the existing hit show “Anupamaa”, which stars Rupali Ganguly in the lead role:
“Now Anupamaa will get real competition,” wrote one commenter.
Others suggested: “Give this show the 10 pm slot instead of Anupamaa” and “Please replace Anupamaa!”
Smriti’s emotional return
For Irani, stepping back into Tulsi’s shoes feels like completing a full circle.
“When I first became Tulsi, I never imagined she would connect so deeply with millions across India,” she revealed.
She also added that Tulsi was not just a character but “a daughter, a mother, a friend” for viewers who saw their strength in her journey.
Why this return matters
“Tulsi returns not just as a character, but as a feeling. A memorable one. A connection that has stood the test of time,” Irani explained.
Even years later, people address her as Tulsi instead of Smriti—it’s a testament to the character’s lasting impact.
Mark your calendars!
The reboot of “Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi” will premiere on Star Plus on July 29, 2025 at 10:30 pm.
With the return of the original cast and a tinge of nostalgia, this comeback promises to rekindle the magic that once united families in front of TV screens every evening.
