Smriti Irani is back as Tulsi Virani, and fans of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi are feeling the nostalgia. A brand-new promo of the iconic show was recently unveiled, showing Smriti Irani slipping back into her beloved character after 25 years.
In the over one-minute promo, Tulsi is seen working on her laptop before reflecting on the unforgettable journey of the Virani family. From old family memories to life lessons, the clip shows Tulsi lighting a diya, making a rangoli, and paying homage to the late Baa, the heart of the Virani household. With a calm yet powerful tone, she talks about the importance of ‘sanskar (values)’ in a fast-changing world.
The video closes on an emotional note with Tulsi smiling and saying, “Phir aa rahi hai Tulsi aapke aangan mein khilne” — sparking excitement among long-time fans of the show. The caption reads, “Badalte waqt mein ek naye nazariye ke saath laut rahi hai Tulsi! Unke iss naye safar mein judne ke liye kya aap hain taiyyar?”
The new chapter of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi will premiere on July 29 at 10:30 PM on Star Plus and JioCinema. Originally aired from 2000 to 2008, the show was a pop culture phenomenon that chronicled the life of the Virani family with over 1,800 episodes.
In an earlier statement to PTI, Smriti Irani said, “This is more than just a comeback. I return not just as an actor, but as someone who believes in the power of storytelling to spark change, preserve culture, and build empathy.”
She added, “This show gave me more than success—it gave me a place in millions of homes. I am here to honour that legacy.”
