Smriti Irani to return as ‘Tulsi’ in ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’ sequel:
Smriti Irani is back as Tulsi Virani in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2, nearly two decades after the original show ruled Indian TV.
Smriti Irani is officially returning to Tulsi Virani’s sandals after 17 years! The politician-turned-actress has signed on the dotted line for the sequel, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, and is making a grand comeback with Season 2, promising new drama, fresh faces, and emotional twists that reflect today’s family dynamics. Yes, you read that right!
Irani signed on June 8 for a commitment of a limited run of 150 episodes.
Time for nostalgia! The reboot will be released on July 3, 2025 10:30 PM. The date is special as the OG show was also launched on the same day, at the same time slot.
But this time it’s Tulsi’s emotional mess all over again! There will be an epic entry, awkward silences, and intense saas-bahu drama.
Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 Premier Date: “Rishton ke bhi roop badalte hai, naye naye saanche mei dhalte hai” if you were humming along in your head, you’re not on your own.
That unforgettable line from Ekta Kapoor’s super hit show Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi was once the pulse of Indian television. A daily habit for millions of households in the early 2000s, the beloved show is forever imprinted in the minds of every soap opera lover.
It’s back with a second season, featuring new drama, new faces, and new surprises which echo family dynamics we see nowadays.
Produced by television Ekta Kapoor, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 aims to carry the legacy of its original, while adapting modern sensibilities too. The previous series elevated Tulsi (Smriti Irani), Mihir, and Baa into household names, but this season is likely to introduce new generations of characters.
But fear not, Smriti Irani will reprise her role as Tulsi, confirmed.
Not Rohit Roy but Amar Upadhyay will be returning as Mihir in the new season. As per reports
New stars Rohit Suchanti and Shagun Sharma will join the family drama, and expect some fun cameos with Mouni Roy and Karishma Tanna – but only as part of promotions.
It will have only 150 episodes and won’t get stretched. It’s a Netflix mini-series.
The soap event of the year, Smriti Irani’s return as Tulsi in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2, is all set in motion. It’s nostalgic, yet new; emotional, yet safe. A blockbuster show, complete with security, a killer 150-episode arc, this show promises drama with a capital D just as good as saas-bahu sagas do.
So get ready, Virani fans, your nightly primetime will now come with an emotional encore.
