Mumbai/IBNS: Ending a long wait, actress-politician Smriti Irani is set to return on television as the beloved Tulsi Virani who became a household name for countless families when Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi premiered way back in 2000.

The promo of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 has already been unveiled by the makers on social media.

The promo shows a family of four remembering the legacy of the massively popular daily soap at a restaurant.

While the older man in the family doesn't believe Smriti will make a comeback owing to her busy political schedule, the three others are optimistic of her return.

Smriti, who reprises Tulsi's role, shared the promo saying, "Are you still not able to believe it? After 25 years, Tulsi Virani is returning with a new story! #KyunkiSaasBhiKabhiBahuThi is once again ready to become a part of every household. Are you ready too?"
