In a surprising turn of events that has thrilled fans of Indian television, Ektaa Kapoor has sparked speculation about a possible comeback of Smriti Irani in the iconic daily soap Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. The hit series, which became a cultural phenomenon in the early 2000s, made Smriti Irani a household name as Tulsi Virani — the ideal daughter-in-law of the Indian small screen.
The buzz began when Ektaa Kapoor posted a cryptic yet nostalgic message on social media, featuring an old photo of Smriti Irani as Tulsi with the caption, “Some stories never end… they just wait for the perfect time to begin again.” She also tagged Smriti and added the hashtag #KyunkiReturns, setting social media abuzz with excitement and speculation.
While neither Ektaa nor Smriti has officially confirmed the reboot or Irani’s return, industry insiders hint that a special episode or a limited series revival is being considered to celebrate the legacy of the show. Ektaa Kapoor’s ALTBalaji has been exploring reboots of several popular soaps, and Kyunki has always topped the wish list for fans.

Smriti Irani, who is currently serving as a Union Minister in the Indian government, has not commented directly on the rumor. However, in a recent public interaction, she smiled when asked about her possible return to TV and simply said, “Never say never.”
Fans of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi are overjoyed at the possibility. The series, which ran from 2000 to 2008, was one of the longest-running and most-watched shows in Indian television history. Tulsi Virani became an icon of Indian womanhood, and Smriti Irani’s performance earned her immense love and critical acclaim.
If this reunion does take place, it would mark a historic moment in Indian television — bringing back the actress-turned-politician to the role that started it all.
