“Kyunki ghar ghar ki kahaani ab phir se likhi jaayegi!” That’s right – Tulsi Virani is back! Nearly 20 years after she became the face of Indian television, Smriti Irani has stepped once again into the legendary role for ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2’, and this time, she’s bringing Z+ security along with her.
Smriti Irani’s Dramatic Comeback to Television
For millions of viewers who grew up watching Star Plus every night at 10:30 PM, Tulsi wasn’t just a character, she was an emotion. Now, the iconic bahu of Indian TV is making a powerful comeback, balancing her real-life role as a Cabinet Minister with her reel-life avatar in the Balaji Telefilms sequel.
According to multiple reports, shooting has officially begun, and security is tighter than ever before. Irani, now a high-profile politician, is working on the sets under Z+ security – a protection cover usually reserved for top leaders in the country. This makes her one of the very few TV actors in India shooting under such high surveillance.
Why the Hype? Tulsi 2.0 Meets Gen-Z Viewers
The revival isn’t just about nostalgia – it’s also about bridging generations. Kyunki 2 aims to blend old-school values with new-age drama. With Ekta Kapoor producing once again, fans can expect the classic Virani household with a modern twist, and perhaps even a Gen-Z bahu in the mix.
Insiders say Irani is back in her element -commanding the screen with quiet authority, while fellow cast members are reportedly under tight NDAs and mobile phone restrictions. Phones are sealed with tape on set to prevent leaks, with exceptions made only for Irani, Amar Upadhyay (Mihir), and Ekta Kapoor.
Politics Meets Prime Time: An Unusual Crossroad
Smriti Irani’s return to television while still serving as a Union Minister has raised eyebrows, but also intrigued fans. In an era where OTT dominates and attention spans are shrinking, can a classic daily soap make a mark again – led by a sitting MP?
