A simple saree, a bindi on the forehead, and an endearing, motherly smile - that was the quintessential look of television's original maa, etched into the memories of millions of Indian households. Tulsi Virani, portrayed by Smriti Irani, wasn't just a character, she became a symbol of resilience, grace, and familial strength. Now, years later, 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi' returns in a much-anticipated reboot on Star Plus, and naturally, fans are eager to discover how Tulsi's appearance has evolved for a new generation.advertisementBut beyond the plot and cast, what's truly capturing everyone's imagination is Tulsi's updated look. In a newly released behind-the-scenes (BTS) YouTube video by Star Plus, viewers are treated to an exclusive look at how this iconic character has been reimagined for the modern era. Celebrated Indian designer Gaurang Shah, who has been tasked with redefining Tulsi's wardrobe, shared his creative process and vision. According to Shah, the aim was not to completely reinvent her image, but rather to infuse it with a renewed elegance, one that reflects both tradition and timelessness.Fashion designer Gaurang Shah has drawn from a diverse palette of Indian textiles to create Tulsi's updated appearance, from the classic richness of Khadija Ambanis and delicate chiffon Kanchivaram sarees to intricately woven, pattern-heavy Patola blouses. Each garment has been carefully selected not just for aesthetic appeal but for its cultural resonance.
The video emphasised that dressing Tulsi is about more than style; it's about carrying forward a legacy. The wardrobe is crafted to honour her past while making her relatable to today's viewers.As the show returns to screens after nearly two decades, this reboot promises both nostalgia and novelty. The first episode is set to premiere tonight at 10:30 pm on Star Plus, and also available for streaming on JioHotstar.- Ends

And by chance, I went there for an event to interview a very big celebrity and the band was also there to meet the same person."advertisement"Because I was late, I was in the last batch with those members of the band. So I asked one of the members, 'Who are you and where are you from', and he told me they are from BTS. I thought that the Korean organising team has called for a behind-the-scenes team. I was totally unaware of the fact that they are famous people. Later, when I told people that for 35 minutes I was in the same room as them, they fainted," he added.
