The wait is over! The iconic TV show Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi is making a grand return to television, and the teaser featuring Smriti Irani as Tulsi Virani has brought a wave of nostalgia across the internet. Fans are thrilled and emotional to see one of India’s most loved characters return to the screen after years.
Smriti Irani’s Leaked First Look Turned Into a Viral Teaser
On July 7, fans were pleasantly surprised when a photo of Smriti Irani dressed as Tulsi Virani started circulating online. Many wondered if it was real or just an AI creation. But the buzz quickly turned into excitement when the makers officially released the teaser on the same day. And yes, it was real—Tulsi is back!
The teaser hit all the right emotional chords. It wasn’t just a glimpse of the show; it was a flashback to simpler times when families would gather around the TV every evening.
The Teaser That Touched Hearts
The teaser is about 1 minute and 10 seconds long and opens with a family sitting at a restaurant. As they wait for their food, the original title track of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi starts playing on a nearby TV. The mother in the family becomes emotional and tells her children how this show once brought their family together at the dinner table every night.
When her son tells her the show is coming back, her eyes light up and she asks excitedly, “Apni Tulsi wapas TV par?” That’s when we see the iconic Tulsi Virani—Smriti Irani—open a door, pick up a kalash, and say, “Zaroor aaungi. Kyunki, humaara 25 saalo ka rishta jo hai. Wakt aa gaya hai aap se phir milne ka.”
Smriti is seen in the same maroon saree with a golden border as shown in the leaked photo, adding to the nostalgia.
Premiering July 29 at 10:30 PM
The teaser ends with the big reveal—Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi is set to return to television on July 29, and it will air every night at 10:30 PM. The announcement has made fans both emotional and excited.
Fans React: “It’s Pure Emotion”
The internet is flooded with emotional comments. One fan wrote, “This show is legacy and childhood memories. The family together, It’s pure emotion.” Another shared, “I’m literally tearing up – my childhood is coming back!”
But beyond the emotional connect, many fans are also excited to see how this reboot will compare with Anupamaa, currently one of the top shows on TV. Comments like “Anupama vs Tulsi… mazaa aayega!” and “Finally, no more ‘sorry sorry’ from Anupama. My favorite show is back!” are trending online.
Tulsi vs Anupamaa? The Battle of OG vs New Gen
With Tulsi Virani’s return, fans are expecting a solid competition for Rupali Ganguly’s Anupamaa. While both shows belong to different times and styles, the excitement of seeing two strong female leads rule prime time again is real.
As one fan rightly put it, “Anupama ki mummy is back. The OG Tulsi Virani 2.0 is here!”
Now, all eyes are on July 29—when nostalgia meets the present on our TV screens again.
