Check out fans reactions to Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi Reboot first look

Once upon a time in the golden era of Indian television, a soap opera captivated households across the nation and became a generational phenomenon — we’re talking about none other than Ekta Kapoor’s iconic Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. More than just a show, it became a cultural ritual, uniting families over drama, emotions, and unforgettable characters. Now, 25 years later, fans are buzzing with excitement as Tulsi and Mihir prepare to return in a long-awaited reboot. Adding fuel to the nostalgia, Smriti Irani’s first look as Tulsi Virani has surfaced online ahead of the official release — and the internet is loving it.

From 2000 to 2008, Smriti Irani reigned supreme on Indian television. With five consecutive Best Actor awards and the title of the highest-paid female actor of her time, she became a household name. But more than accolades, it was her portrayal of Tulsi Virani opposite Amar Upadhyay’s Mihir that truly cemented her legacy. Now, her first look from the reboot is bringing back a flood of nostalgia. In the leaked image, Smriti dons a maroon saree with a golden zari border, a striking red bindi, heavy traditional jewellery, and a neatly tied bun with a side parting and sindoor — a look that instantly takes fans back to the golden days of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. And yes, she looks absolutely stunning — something fans wholeheartedly agree on.

Some did wonder if this picture was AI generated, but a majority showered love. For instance, one fan shared, “Wow. Nostalgia. With Tulsi’s return, childhood just knocked again. 🕰️,” whereas another wrote, “Pyaari lag rahi hai tulsi mihir virani so pretty 😍 ❤️ 🙌🏻 💖 🧿 💫 🌟 ✨.” A comment read, “Aaj bhi waise he lagti hai jaise pehle lagti thi 😍 Sundar,” whereas another social media user stated, “Once again she is back to rule in television industry.” Meanwhile, others took jibes at Rupali Ganguly’s show Anupamaa, which is one of the biggest series on television right now. One such netizen claimed, “Tulsi aagyi matlab Anupama ka bura time shuru hogya ab,” whereas another wrote, “Anupama ko band karo aur iss show ko 10 pm dedo accha hoga.” A comment even read, “Replace Anupama plzzz.”
