As Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi enters a new phase with a 10-year leap from today, actor Smriti Irani says the iconic character Tulsi continues to resonate with audiences because every family needs someone who chooses compassion, understanding and forgiveness over conflict. She believes the values represented by the character remain relevant despite changing times and evolving family dynamics.
Speaking about the show’s latest chapter, Irani said one of the greatest compliments she has received over the years is when viewers tell her that Tulsi reminded them of their mother, grandmother or another elder in the family. According to her, every family eventually needs someone who heals relationships rather than creates divisions, and who listens rather than judges.
“This next chapter is very special. After ten years, Tulsi returns to a family that has changed; relationships have become more complicated, and distances have quietly grown. But her faith remains the same: that every relationship deserves one more chance, and every family can find its way back to each other,” Irani said.
She added that Tulsi has always believed there is no single way to solve a problem and that every generation brings new challenges requiring compassion, courage, and a willingness to understand others. “What I have always loved about Tulsi is that she never believed there was only one way to solve a problem. Every generation brings new challenges, and every challenge demands compassion, courage, and a willingness to understand,” she said.
Describing the upcoming storyline, Irani said the new chapter is filled with unexpected moments but continues to focus on family, forgiveness and hope. She expressed hope that viewers would find reflections of their own lives in Tulsi’s journey and enjoy the latest phase of the show.
The 10-year leap marks a significant turning point in the long-running television drama, introducing a transformed family while retaining the emotional values that have defined Tulsi’s character for generations of viewers.
