Smriti Irani is back as Tulsi Virani, and fans couldn’t be happier. The iconic character from Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi is making a comeback with a new series set to air on Star Plus starting July 29 at 10:30pm.
This reboot, streaming on JioCinema as well, won’t be nearly as long as the original. Instead of thousands of episodes, this one will run about 150, which might actually work better for today’s viewers who prefer shorter, punchier story arcs.
