Bill Gates to Join the Show

Adding another high-profile element, the series is set to feature a special video call cameo by billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates with Smriti Irani, who plays Tulsi Virani. According to sources close to the production, the storyline will span three episodes and center on maternal and newborn health.

"The plot focuses on raising awareness about the health of pregnant women and newborns.

Smriti Irani’s Continued Focus on Social Causes

Since returning to the small screen, Smriti Irani has consistently integrated social issues into the show’s narrative. She has addressed topics ranging from body positivity and aging to domestic violence, weaving them seamlessly into the storyline.

Speaking to Mumbai Mirror during a recent appearance at Bombay Times Fashion, Irani said,

"I've always believed that a saree is never limiting for a woman. It's graceful, carries a piece of our history, and exudes dignity. It doesn't confine a woman to a particular size or body type."

On the show’s more challenging story arcs, such as her on-screen daughter filing a false domestic violence case against her in-laws, Irani explained,

"Can we stand up for such men? That is not something you would normally expect on a television show or film, as people often say we are not progressive enough."

Through these storylines, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 has been able to combine the entertainment of a soap opera with meaningful societal commentary, keeping viewers both engaged and informed.
