By Bollywood Hungama News Network - July 4, 2020 - 2:17 PM IST

The TV show Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi is one of the most popular Indian TV shows of all time. The show was on air for eight years and completed nearly 2000 episodes. The show has completed 20 years of first going on air. Actor-turned-politician Smriti Irani who essayed the lead role of Tulsi Virani took to social media to celebrate the occasion.

Smriti Irani shared her first scene with actress Sudha Shivpuri who played the role of Baa. Sharing the video, she wrote, "20 years ago this was possibly one of my first scenes with Sudha Aunty. I raced through my lines, nervous as hell coz @ektarkapoor was called to the shooting floor by the director who told her the project was a sure shot flop since the girl cast as Tulsi did not have the talent to see it through."

"Upon enquiring why I was not unleashing my full potential as an actor I told her “can I play the character as I deem fit instead of being told how to emote?” I promised her I’d take help of every colleague possible if I felt I can’t measure up alone. EK said done and the rest was TV history. Today 2 decades later in absentia I say thank you for the belief @ektarkapoor , thank you @monishasinghkatial for first refusing to cast me & then supporting me all the way," she added.

Ekta Kapoor also took to Instagram and shared three posts and penned down her memories associated with the show. She also recalled how the people in Gujarat continued watching the show even after an earthquake.
