Smriti Irani reflects on why she believes every family needs someone like her character Tulsi. Read below.
For millions of viewers, Tulsi played by Smriti Irani has always represented that unwavering force. As Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 embarks on a significant new chapter with a 10-year leap from today, Smriti Irani reflects on why Tulsi's values continue to resonate and why every family needs someone who believes in healing and togetherness.
Tulsi Returns to a Changed Family
Opening up about the show's next phase, Smriti Irani shared that the love audiences have shown Tulsi over the years remains one of the most meaningful aspects of her journey.
"One of the greatest compliments I have received over the years is when people tell me that Tulsi reminded them of their own maa, dadi, or nani. I believe that's because every family, no matter how much the world changes, eventually needs someone who chooses to heal rather than divide, to listen rather than judge."
The actor revealed that the upcoming storyline explores a family transformed by time, where relationships have grown more layered and emotional distances have silently emerged.
Speaking about Tulsi's return after a decade, Smriti said, "This next chapter is very special. After ten years, Tulsi returns to a family that has changed, relationships have become more complicated, and distances have quietly grown. But her faith remains the same, that every relationship deserves one more chance, and every family can find its way back to each other."
She also highlighted the character's ability to adapt with changing times and said, "What I have always loved about Tulsi is that she never believed there was only one way to solve a problem. Every generation brings new challenges, and every challenge demands compassion, courage, and a willingness to understand."
For Smriti, the essence of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi continues to lie in the values that made Tulsi an iconic character in Indian television. She said, "This journey has many unexpected moments, but at its heart, it is about family, forgiveness, and hope. I hope audiences see a little of their own lives in Tulsi's story and enjoy every moment of this new chapter with her."
