When Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi's Smriti Irani revealed she had to resume work immediately after her miscarriage: 'I had to give proof of my miscarriage'
Smriti Irani is all set to entertain the audience once again with the new season of the popular show Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. Known for her role as Tulsi, the actress has won many hearts over the years. In an old interview, she revealed how she was once asked to resume work right after her miscarriage. She even mentioned that she had to provide proof of her miscarriage when she returned to work. The promo of the new season of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi is already out, and fans can't wait to watch the show. In past interviews, Smriti has made many revelations. One that still shocks many to this day is the difficulty she faced in her professional life during her miscarriage. She shared, 'I was on the sets of Kyunki and told the team I wasn't feeling well. At that time, I didn't know I was pregnant. I was working 18–20 hours a day, so nobody really believed I was unwell. I requested them to take my shots first, but I kept working. By the time I left, it was evening. I called my doctor, and he asked me to get a sonography done. I was in the Four Bungalows market in Mumbai. Zubin was out of the country, and my son Zor was at home. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 15 most beautiful women in the world Undo It was raining, and I started bleeding. I asked the auto driver to take me to a local clinic in Lokhandwala. When I reached, a nurse came running to ask for an autograph. I was bleeding, but I still signed it. Then I asked her, 'Admit kar loge? I think I'm miscarrying.'' In a conversation with Neelesh Misra on his podcast, Smriti revealed, 'When I told the production team I had miscarried and was still bleeding, they said, 'Koi nahi, 2 baje ki shift mein aa jaiye' (No problem, just be there for the 2 p.m. shift). In the first half of the day, I would shoot for Ravi Chopra's Ramayan from 7 a.m., and in the second half, for Ekta Kapoor 's Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi at 2 p.m.' Smriti also revealed that she had to provide proof of her miscarriage to producer Ekta Kapoor. 'Some of my co-stars instigated Ekta against me, so I had to show her my medical documents. One person even said, 'Are iska kya, baccha waccha marta hai toh kya aata hai set par?' (So what if her baby dies? Why does she have to come to the set?) That person didn't realize I came back to work because I had responsibilities. This was in 2001 — I needed money to pay my house EMIs. I completed the shoot that day. The next day, I took all my medical papers to Ekta and said, 'If you believed even a bit of her, here is the proof.' She got uncomfortable and told me not to show them. I said, 'Foetus bacha nahi, warna woh bhi dikha deti' (If the foetus had survived, I would've shown that too).'
