Smriti Irani’s comeback as Tulsi Virani in the ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’ reboot has fans exclaiming, ‘OMG, same!’ The iconic show that defined Indian television in the early 2000s is making a grand return, and we can’t keep calm. The timelines are buzzing, WhatsApp groups are active, and even your mom is asking about “wohi Tulsi waapas aa gayi kya?” Let’s dive into the top reasons why this reboot is giving us those sweet, sweet nostalgia chills.
1. Tulsi’s Timeless Appeal
Tulsi wasn’t just a character; she was the OG queen of sanskaar and sass. Smriti Irani gave us a Tulsi who fought evil saas-bahu plot twists and stood tall, no matter what life (or Ekta Kapoor) threw her way. Fans still swear by, “Tulsi wasn’t a role, it was an emotion”, and boy, does this reboot prove it true again. Her values, her strength, that perfect saree-pallu game… all back to grace our screens once more.

2. The Power of Nostalgia
Nothing hits quite like the nostalgia of tuning in at 10:30 pm with your entire family, remote fights included! The promos have triggered a flood of memes, #ThrowbackThursday posts, and ‘Do you remember?’ convos across social media. Everyone’s sharing their own “I grew up on Tulsi Virani” tales. There’s just something wholesome about reliving those good ol’ family drama days together.

4. The Legacy of ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’
There’s family drama, and then there’s this, the show that dominated TRP charts for a whopping seven years straight! ‘Kyunki’ created a template that practically every other saas-bahu saga on TV tried (and failed) to match. If you didn’t experience the “Tulsi-Mihir” plot twist panic attack, were you even alive in the 2000s?
5. Fan Reactions and Social Media Buzz
The internet’s gone full ‘mahaarti’ for Tulsi’s comeback. “Queen Tulsi is back to rule TV again!” is trending, and even celebs can’t keep calm. Every platform is lit with excitement, memes, jokes, emotional throwbacks, and loads of “I stan Tulsi” energy. With so much buzz, it’s clear: when Tulsi speaks, everyone listens (and tweets).
The return of ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’ with Smriti Irani reprising her role as Tulsi is more than just a reboot!
