It’s official — Smriti Irani is making a powerful return as Tulsi Virani in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi Season 2, and television is set for a major shake-up. The first look of the former actress-turned-politician was unveiled recently, and fans are overwhelmed with emotion. Dressed in a regal maroon saree with a golden zari border, heavy traditional jewellery, and a signature red bindi, Smriti effortlessly steps back into the iconic role that defined an era of Indian television.

The teaser promo, released by the makers, instantly took fans down memory lane. Social media erupted with love and nostalgia. One user commented, “Wow. Nostalgia. With Tulsi’s return, childhood just knocked again.” Another wrote, “Aaj bhi waise hi lagti hai jaise pehle lagti thi. Sundar.” A fan even said, “Once again, she is back to rule the television industry.”

However, what caught attention were the comparisons with Anupamaa , currently one of the most-watched shows. Some netizens didn’t shy away from making bold claims like, “Tulsi aagyi matlab Anupama ka bura time shuru hogya ab,” and “Replace Anupama plzzz.” Another added, “Anupama ko band karo aur iss show ko 10 PM dedo, accha hoga.”

With Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi reclaiming its iconic 10:30 PM slot from July 29, fans are eager to see if Tulsi's return will indeed pose a challenge to Rupali Ganguly ’s reign as Anupamaa.

Smriti Irani’s comeback is more than just a television moment — it’s a cultural event. As two iconic matriarchs — Tulsi and Anupamaa — find themselves in the same orbit, viewers are ready for a clash of generations, nostalgia, and storytelling legacies.
