Anupamaa AKA Rupali Ganguly Welcomes Tulsi AKA Smriti Irani Ahead Of Kyunki's Premiere

Rupali Ganguly welcomes Smriti Irani in a new promo ahead of Kyunki's premiere. The heartfelt video call has fans nostalgic and excited for the show's big return. The clock is ticking, and Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi reboot is all set to premiere today at 10:30 PM. While netizens have already been comparing the show with the popular daily soap Anupamaa, the new promo has left social media buzzing as it features two of TV's icons, Smriti Irani as Tulsi and Rupali Ganguly as Anupamaa, chatting over a video call. Today, ahead of the show's grand premiere, StarPlus dropped a new promo featuring a video call between Anupamaa and Tulsi. In the call, Anupamaa can be seen talking about Tulsi's return, to which she replies, 'Wapis kaise na aati, apno ke beech, apne parivaar ke beech." (How can I not return to my people, to my family?) Anupamaa then welcomes Tulsi with a warm smile, saying, 'Welcome back to the family, Tulsi ji." She adds, 'Mere pure Anupamaa parivaar ko Kyunki parivaar ka besabri se intezaar rahega." (My Anupamaa family will eagerly wait for the Kyunki family.) Meanwhile, addressing the growing online buzz surrounding the supposed tension between the two shows, Ektaa Kapoor, the producer of Smriti Irani's show, shared, 'Yesterday I was seeing some videos of Anupamaa having a problem as Kyunki is coming. I felt that was in such bad taste. She [Rupali] is such a big star. Anupamaa, the show, the creator Rajan… has done what nobody else could do in the last seven years. They will continue to be number 1. They should continue to be number 1." 'We are coming in for our purpose — to tell our story. These unfair comparisons between lead characters and lead shows are so unnecessary. Pitting women against each other, pitting content against each other, is so uncalled for," Ektaa concluded. For context, Anupamaa, created by Rajan Shahi, has been a dominant force on Indian television. It gave Rupali Ganguly a huge comeback and has struck a chord with audiences through its focus on family conflicts, generational shifts, and the realities of adult relationships. On the other hand, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi needs no introduction. The original series, produced by Ektaa under Balaji Telefilms, ran for more than eight years and over 1,800 episodes, becoming one of the most iconic Indian serials of its time. Now, the much-anticipated reboot is all set to air from 29 July at 10:30 PM on Star Plus and JioCinema. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
