For days, social media was buzzing with speculation that Smriti Irani, the actress-turned-politician, would make her acting comeback through the hit TV show ‘Anupamaa’. However, Smriti has now dismissed these reports as “fake news.”
Recently, a post by Telechakkar claimed that Smriti, famous for her iconic role as Tulsi in ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’, would return to television after more than a decade. But the Union Minister took to social media to set the record straight, refuting the news outright.
Smriti Irani Calls Comeback Rumors “Fake News”
Smriti responded directly to the Telechakkar post with a short but firm message: “Fake News.” This simple statement has now put an end to the rumors circulating about her involvement in ‘Anupamaa’. Fans who were hoping for her return to TV might be disappointed, but Smriti’s message leaves no room for doubt.
From Acting Icon to Political Leader
Before stepping into politics, Smriti Irani was one of the most popular faces on Indian television. Her portrayal of Tulsi Virani in ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’ remains iconic. She was last seen on TV in the comedy-drama ‘Maniben.Com’ and later appeared in the Bengali film ‘Amrita’ in 2012.
Smriti shifted her focus entirely to politics after leaving acting, and she has since established herself as a key leader in the BJP. Currently, she holds the Union Minister portfolio for Women and Child Development.
What’s Next in ‘Anupamaa’?
While Smriti Irani won’t be joining the show, ‘Anupamaa’ continues to entertain audiences with new twists following the recent 15-year leap. Rupali Ganguly plays the titular role, and the post-leap episodes promise to introduce several surprises that keep viewers hooked.
Although fans were excited by the idea of seeing Smriti Irani back on TV, her latest response makes it clear that she has no plans to return to acting for now.
