Ekta
Kapoor’s
Kyunki
Saas
Bhi
Kabhi
Bahu
Thi
recently
completed
20
years
on
July
3rd,
2020
since
it
first
began
airing
on
Star
Plus.
This
was
followed
by
the
face
of
the
iconic
show,
Smriti
Irani,
taking
to
her
Instagram
account
to
share
a
throwback
video
of
her
first
scene
and
whilst
revealing
that
her
director
had
no
confidence
in
her
acting.
Smriti
wrote,
“20
years
ago
this
was
possibly
one
of
my
first
scenes
with
Sudha
Aunty.
I
raced
through
my
lines,
nervous
as
hell
coz
@ektarkapoor
was
called
to
the
shooting
floor
by
the
director
who
told
her
the
project
was
a
sure
shot
flop
since
the
girl
cast
as
Tulsi
did
not
have
the
talent
to
see
it
through.
Upon
enquiring
why
I
was
not
unleashing
my
full
potential
as
an
actor
I
told
her
“can
I
play
the
character
as
I
deem
fit
instead
of
being
told
how
to
emote?”
I
promised
her
I’d
take
help
of
every
colleague
possible
if
I
felt
I
can’t
measure
up
alone.
EK
said
done
and
the
rest
was
TV
history.”
She
then
went
on
to
thank
her
co-stars
and
added,
“Today
2
decades
later
in
absentia
I
say
thank
you
for
the
belief
@ektarkapoor,
thank
you
@monishasinghkatial
for
first
refusing
to
cast
me
&
then
supporting
me
all
the
way.
Thank
you
to
the
ever
changing

and

sweethearts
off
screen.

were
a
part
of
the
journey..
