In response to Smriti Irani‘s recent revelation about how she landed the role of Tulsi in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, showmaker Ektaa Kapoor has dismissed her statement, deeming it as untrue.
In a video interview with a digital platform, Smriti Irani claimed that an astrologer present in Ektaa Kapoor’s office had recommended her for the role. However, Ekta, who made the show, took to her own Instagram story to counter Smriti’s narrative, stating that it is false.

CHOSE IN ONE SECOND!!!”During her conversation with Curly Tales, Smriti Irani shared an interesting anecdote about how she landed the role of Tulsi in “Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi.” She mentioned, “That didn’t happen because of persona or personality or anything else. Astrologer baitha tha ek Ekta Kapoor ke office mein toh panditji ne kaha yeh joh ladki abhi ghum rahi hai wahan pe, isko rokiye, yeh kaun hai (An astrologer was sitting in Ekta Kapoor’s office. So the priest said, ‘Who is this girl roaming around? Apparently, he was a face reader).”

Smriti continued her story by mentioning, “Toh unhone kyun, kya hai, kyun roke isko. Unhone kahan isko agar tum rokoge, iss se kaam karoge, yeh bahut bada desh mein naam hone wali hai (So, she said, ‘Why, why should we stop her?’ He said, ‘If you stop her, if you work with her, she is going to be a big name in the country).'”
During a previous interview, Smriti had unveiled that it was only years later that she found out about astrologer Janardhan’s prediction in front of Ekta Kapoor, which ultimately led to her securing the role in “Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi.”
