Smriti Irani Reflects on Reuniting with Ektaa Kapoor
Smriti Irani — a name synonymous with excellence, determination, and influence — has once again become the talk of the town. From ruling Indian television in the early 2000s to serving as a prominent leader in the Union Cabinet, Smriti’s journey has been nothing short of inspiring. Now, after decades away from daily soaps, she is making a celebrated return to her roots with the revival of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, stepping back into her iconic role as Tulsi.
Speaking at a recent event, Smriti shared insights about her evolution as an artist and politician, as well as her reunion with producer Ektaa Kapoor after a gap of 25 years. Reflecting on her dual journey, she said,
“I never considered myself a part-time politician. My political path started from the grassroots level, unlike many who entered from the top. Beginning from a humble foundation allows one to build something strong and enduring.”
Smriti also spoke about how both she and Ektaa Kapoor have evolved since their first collaboration:
“What’s fascinating is that 25 years later, I return to the same craft, but with a creator who has herself gone through an incredible journey. Ektaa has transcended mediums, explored new frameworks, and is now ready to tell stories with fresh ideas and perspectives.” – Smriti Irani Reflects on Reuniting with Ektaa Kapoor
She humorously reflected on how her dynamic with Ektaa has changed over the years:
“Back then, as an actor, you could only discuss scenes — never the storyline. But now, after so many years, it’s amusing to see her surprised when I share my opinions on the story itself. It shows how our relationship has grown — from creator and actor to genuine friends.”
Smriti further emphasized how this reunion symbolizes mutual growth and creative maturity: – Smriti Irani Reflects on Reuniting with Ektaa Kapoor
“This opportunity reflects not only how far the creator has come but also how the storytelling process has evolved. Seeing Ektaa’s journey flourish across platforms and genres is truly inspiring.”
With Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi marking its 25th anniversary, Smriti Irani’s return as Tulsi has reignited nostalgia among fans across generations. Her comeback not only celebrates the golden era of Indian television but also highlights her enduring passion for storytelling — proving that some legacies never fade, they only grow stronger with time.
