He informs that "suna hai kyunki vapas aa raha", as they discuss the possibility of the return of iconic character Tulsi in the show, the video shows the entry of Smriti Irani in purple-golden sari.

She was seen watering the Tulsi plant, saying, "Zaroor aaoongi, kyuki humara 25 saalon ka rishta jo hai. Waqt aagaya hai apse phir milne ka ". The video ends with her signature style, a smile and folded hands.

The caption along with the video read, "Kya aap abhi bhi vishwaas nahi kar paa rahe? 25 saal ke baad, Tulsi Virani laut rahi hai, ek nayi kahaani ke saath (Are you even not able to believe? After 25 years, Tulsi Virani is returning with a new story)!"

"Goosebumps," another social media user wrote.

Earlier, the makers unveiled the first look of Smriti Irani as Tulsi. In the image, Smriti was seen dressed in a maroon saree. Adding a touch from the past, she completed her look with the signature big red bindi, traditional jewellery, a black-beaded mangalsutra, and of course, tied her hair in a bun -- the way fans saw her years ago.

On reprising her iconic character, Smriti, in a press note, said, "Returning to Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi is not just a step back into a role, but a return to a story that redefined Indian television and reshaped my own life. It gave me more than commercial success; it gave me a connection with millions of homes, a place in the emotional fabric of a generation."

"In the 25 years since, I've straddled two powerful platforms--media and public policy--each with its own impact, each demanding a different kind of commitment. Today, I stand at a crossroads where experience meets emotion and creativity meets conviction. I return not just as an actor but as someone who believes in the power of storytelling to spark change, preserve culture, and build empathy. In contributing to this next chapter, I hope to honour the legacy of Kyunki--and help shape a future where India's creative industries aren't just celebrated, but truly empowered," she added.

The show, which began airing in 2000, quickly became a household name. It ran for eight long years and ruled the TRP charts for most of the time.

Created by Ektaa Kapoor and produced under her banner, Balaji Telefilms, the show was a major hit with viewers and played a big part in shaping Indian TV dramas.\Recently, the show completed 25 years.

Smriti is making a comeback in the acting field after 15 years. She left acting to dive into politics and even served as the Minister of Women and Child Development.

The show will air from July 29 at 10.30 pm on Star Plus and JioHotstar. (ANI)
