Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2: Fans accuse Smriti Irani of using a body double: 'For what is she charging Rs 14 lakhs'
Smriti Irani made a huge comeback on television with her iconic portrayal of Tulsi Virani in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2. While the show has been ruling the TRP charts, fans have now accused Irani of using a body double for the show. Some are even saying that it looks fake and disconnected as Smriti is trying to copy Anupamaa's traits.
Reportedly, the actress is shooting her scenes separately while a body double is used for her sequences with family members. An X user spoke about the same and wrote, 'Glad that everyone is noticing this! For what is she charging 14L for? For shooting separately for like half an episode? It looks like people are talking to the wall, and then she is shown separately despite being in front!'

Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi: Smriti Irani As Tulsi Moves Audience With Emotional Vidai Scene
The latest episode of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, starring Smriti Irani and Amar Upadhyay, showcases an emotional vidaai sequence. Ektaa Kapoor-backed Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi reboot, led by Smriti Irani and Amar Upadhyay, is a hit. At a time when daily soaps are going through a challenging time, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi topping the BARC charts proves that the industry can be resurrected with good content and nostalgia. In the recent episode, the show marked a significant milestone with the wedding of Tulsi and Mihir's daughter, Pari. The highlight of the track was the touching 'vidai' sequence, which saw Smriti Irani deliver a powerful and heartfelt performance, reminding fans why Tulsi remains one of Indian television's most beloved characters. In the poignant farewell scene, Tulsi, played by Smriti Irani, shares an emotional goodbye with her daughter, embodying the complex emotions of a mother letting go — joy, pride, and heartbreak. Smriti's performance struck a chord with viewers and cast members alike, many of whom were visibly moved during the shoot. The special episode also brought back several familiar faces from the original ensemble, turning the set into a warm reunion filled with nostalgia and camaraderie. The return of iconic characters made the wedding celebration all the more memorable, creating a sense of continuity and legacy for longtime fans of the show. Take a look at a few stills from Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi reboot: Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi reboot episode not only reaffirms Smriti Irani's lasting bond with the character of Tulsi, but also stands out as a moment of emotional resonance in the show's ongoing narrative. The 'vidai' scene is already being hailed as one of the most moving moments of the season. Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi becomes highest-related Hindi daily soap Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi reboot, which premiered on July 29 on Star Plus and JioHotstar, made a remarkable debut with a 2.5 TVR, making it the highest-rated Hindi GEC fiction launch (drama series or daily soap broadcast on Hindi-language General Entertainment Channels in India) in the last five years, as per BARC data. The show even surpassed Rupali Ganguly's Anupamaa, which had recently dipped and landed in the third spot with a 2.1 TVR. In a fragmented TV landscape where most fiction shows fail to cross the 2 TVR mark in their opening week, this can be safely touted as a landmark achievement. Recently, during an interview with Filmibeat, when Smriti was asked about feeling pressurised about TRPs, the actress-politician said, 'I think we have set the benchmark. So, there's nobody else to compete with but us. But I also understand that when we began the show (25 years ago), there was no social media, there was no OTT, there was no fragmented audience, we had no PR, we had no hoarding, we had no Instagram to tell our viewers what is upcoming or who is in the cast. Nobody had any followers anywhere. So, to have our hands tied behind and still manage to give such an excellent product, for that time, was historical." 'Today's history has been created because there are no shows that can come back after 25 years and still be successful with the same cast, with the same production house, on the same network. So, I think we have managed to recreate history. For us today, we are free from the pressures of revenue or numbers because we have already proven our mark," she added. Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi airs Monday to Friday at 10:30 PM, only on Star Plus. First Published: August 17, 2025, 13:46 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Koi aur bhuktega tumhare gunhao ki saza? Kya kaha tha tumne 'gareeb paida hota hai marne ke liye'. Aab pata chalega tumhe, desh ka kanoon ameer aur gareeb mein farq nahi karta. (Did you think that you would run over your call on a poor and get away with it? You thought somebody else would be framed for your charges? Remember when you said, 'Poor people are meant to die'?
