Smriti Irani, widely recognized as Tulsi Virani from "Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi," has officially addressed and denied reports of a potential spin-off series. She clarified that she is not connected to any new project related to the show, urging for verification of intellectual property rights before disseminating information.
The original "Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi," a creation by Ektaa Kapoor, was a television phenomenon from 2000 to 2008. Irani's portrayal of Tulsi became synonymous with the ideal Indian daughter-in-law.
A limited sequel to the show premiered in 2025, bringing back several original cast members alongside new talent. This reboot is planned for 150 episodes, a significantly shorter run than the original's extensive broadcast.
Notably, the reboot featured a special appearance by Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates. A segment showed Gates and Irani discussing maternal health and the importance of children's well-being for national growth, highlighting shared values on health and global progress.
