The legendary Indian TV drama Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi is coming back with a brand-new season, and the fans are more excited than ever. The official promo, recently released, has stirred up memories of the early 2000s, particularly with the return of Smriti Irani as the iconic Tulsi. Famous for its emotional plots and strong familial values, the new season is guaranteed to mix up elements of nostalgia with newer plots for a modern-day viewer.
Looking for Blessings Before a New Dawn
As part of the pre-promotion hype, producer Ekta Kapoor and Smriti Irani will make a pilgrimage to the Nathdwara Temple in Udaipur, Rajasthan, on July 27, two days prior to the show’s launch on July 29. The pilgrimage is symbolic and spiritual, expressing a sign of thanks and a conventional beginning to what is expected to be a hit new chapter for Indian television history.
First broadcast in 2000, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi was a cultural touchstone, remembered for its depth of emotion and larger-than-life characters. Tulsi, played by Smriti Irani, was one of Indian television’s most recalled faces, adding to the gravity of this return.
Smriti Irani on Bringing Back Tulsi
In an interview with IANS, Smriti Irani had her say on playing Tulsi again:
“Years later, life comes full circle—not to recreate the past, but to rekindle an emotion that never truly faded… Tulsi returns not just as a character, but as a feeling.”
The new season promises to honour the legacy while adding layers that resonate with today’s viewers. With anticipation mounting and emotions running high, Tulsi’s return is not just a revival—it’s a celebration of timeless storytelling.
