Mumbai Oct 9 (NationPress) Actress Shagun Sharma, who portrays Paridhi in 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi Season 2', has recently shared delightful behind-the-scenes snapshots with her co-star Smriti Irani on her social media platform. Smriti Irani reprises her legendary role as Tulsi in the eagerly awaited sequel. In the image, Sharma is joyfully posing alongside Irani and captioned it, “Because we do get along. Just the utter joy of asking silly questions, believing it's a good one, is unreal,” tagging Smriti Irani.
The bond between these two actresses off-screen sharply contrasts with their on-screen interactions. While Smriti Irani's character Tulsi embodies strength and justice, Shagun Sharma's character Paridhi is depicted as a negative persona. Throughout the series, Paridhi often manipulates and emotionally blackmails Mihir Virani, her father played by actor Amar Upadhyay, while also challenging Tulsi, generating intense drama for the Virani family.
At present, the plot of 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi' centers around Tulsi grappling with her love for her family versus her pursuit of justice, keeping fans thoroughly engaged. The show boasts a robust ensemble cast including Smriti Irani, Shagun Sharma, Amar Upadhyay, Ketki Dave, Komolika Guhathakurta, among other main performers who revive the Virani family for a contemporary audience.
This sequel, which premiered a few months ago, resonated with viewers just like its predecessor. The show rapidly ascended the TRP rankings, solidifying its status as one of India's most iconic family dramas. For Smriti Irani, this marks a significant return to television after nearly two decades.
The original season of 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi' concluded in 2008, after which Irani transitioned into politics, where she became one of the country's most influential leaders. Balancing her political duties alongside her return to the small screen, Irani has taken on a notable role in her career.
