Actress-turned-politician Smriti Irani recently took to social media to share a touching post reminiscing about her good friend, television star Sakshi Tanwar. In the post, Smriti praised Sakshi for her ability to make difficult things seem easy. The accompanying selfie showed both actresses looking elegant in traditional attire, exuding grace and simplicity.
Smriti was dressed in a red and green saree in a traditional Gujrati style, while Sakshi looked graceful in a black saree with red detailing. The photo seemed to have been taken on the sets of Smriti’s show “Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi,” where Sakshi made a special appearance a few months ago. The post was captioned by Smriti with words of admiration for Sakshi’s effortless demeanor and elegance.
Known as television’s iconic matriarchs, Smriti Irani and Sakshi Tanwar portrayed memorable characters that resonated with audiences. Through their roles as Tulsi Virani and Parvati Agarwal, they dominated the Hindi GEC space for years. Their characters, Tulsi and Parvati, were so beloved that both actresses were the first and only ones from Hindi TV to feature on the popular talk show “Koffee with Karan.”
Even after 26 years since their shows aired, Smriti as Tulsi Virani from “Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi” and Sakshi as Parvati from “Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii” are still considered the top on-screen bahus. Their on-screen personas left a lasting impact on the audience, showcasing their enduring popularity and influence.
