Mumbai, October 15, IANS - The renowned television star Smriti Irani, famously known as Tulsi from Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, recently delighted her followers by sharing a selfie with fellow television icon Sakshi Tanwar, recognized for her role as Parvati in Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki.

In her touching post, Smriti expressed her deep appreciation for Sakshi, reminiscing about their enduring friendship. She wrote, “With grace, determination, and beauty, Sakshi embodies many qualities, but the essence of our bond after 25 years is beyond words. We unwittingly became part of history while striving for excellence.”

She further added, “To merely label her as a caring mother, devoted daughter, and genuine person doesn’t do justice to her spirit. She is someone who can make silence resonate with meaning. You are cherished, Sakshi, and I hope you feel at home, filled with hope and warmth.”

The image showcases Smriti and Sakshi beaming in traditional sarees reminiscent of their iconic characters, echoing the elegance of 25 years ago. Fans will be thrilled to know that these legendary matriarchs, Tulsi and Parvati, are set to reunite on screen, reigniting memories from the golden age of Indian television. Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi is preparing for a special crossover episode with Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki.

Sakshi Tanwar and Kiran Karmarkar will reprise their beloved roles as Parvati and Om Agarwal, respectively, as they meet Tulsi and Mihir Virani, played by Smriti and Amar Upadhyay. This crossover is poised to be a nostalgic tribute to television, reconnecting two shows that have significantly shaped Indian family dramas.

Notably, Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki is celebrating its 25th anniversary this October. Sakshi's portrayal of Parvati won the hearts of viewers in the early 2000s. Both series dominated the television landscape for years, establishing themselves as the quintessential bahus of Indian television.

Their characters have garnered immense admiration, with both Smriti Irani and Sakshi Tanwar earning invitations to the prestigious talk show Koffee with Karan, making them the only television personalities featured on a platform typically reserved for Bollywood stars.
