‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2’ Heads For Finale, Smriti Irani Says, ‘Tulsi Never Believed There Was Only One Way To Solve A Problem’ (EXCLUSIVE)
“Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2” has had a successful run on the TRP charts since its launch in July 2025. The final chapter of this sequel will begin with Tulsi’s (Smriti Irani) return to Shantiniketan after a 10-year leap. She is back home after serving time in jail for killing her grandson, Parth (Sohil Singh Jhuti), who tried to sexually assault his wife, Vaishnavi (Swati Sharma). Viewers found similarities between this and the track of the first season of the show, where Tulsi killed her son Ansh Gujral (Akashdeep Saigal).
Smriti Irani, who plays Tulsi, feels that the character’s compassion and courage amid adversity made her stand apart. Irani tells Variety India, “This next chapter is very special. After 10 years, Tulsi returns to a family that has changed, relationships have become more complicated, and distances have quietly grown. But her faith remains the same, that every relationship deserves one more chance, and every family can find its way back to each other.”

“Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2” is expected to wrap up by the end of August, with Tulsi and Mihir getting back together with the family. Reflecting on the core of Tulsi’s character, which remains unchanged, Irani says, “What I have always loved about Tulsi is that she never believed there was only one way to solve a problem. Every generation brings new challenges, and every challenge demands compassion.”
The actor, who made a noteworthy comeback to TV after spending years in active politics, reveals she is happiest when audiences tell her that Tulsi reminds them of their mother and grandmother. Calling it the greatest compliment, she says, “I believe that’s because every family, no matter how much the world changes, eventually needs someone who chooses to heal rather than divide, to listen rather than judge. This journey has many unexpected moments, but at its heart, it is about family, forgiveness and hope. I hope audiences see a little of their own lives in Tulsi’s story and enjoy every moment of this new chapter with her.”
Mihir (Amar Upadhyay) will join Tulsi as the duo put their heart and soul towards bringing back real joy and peace in the Virani family as the serial draws to an end.
