After being tight-lipped for months about her exit from Kyunkii Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu thi, Smriti Irani who was replaced by Gautami Gadgil finally spilled the beans at a press conference. "I was asked to quit the show because I became a producer." Insisting that she has no problems with Ekta Kapoor, Smriti says, "if they ever ask me to come back, I won't mind. I am glad in a way that I have created an image beyond that of Tulsi. I am not called just Tulsi anymore. Today I am a producer and people know me by my work in other serials I produce. I am proud of my serials." If Smriti Iraani was busy as Tulsi earlier, she is busier now after becoming a full time producer. Of her two serials, though Thodi Zameen Thoda Aasman, didn't make any impact her second show, Virrudh on Sony got rave reviews. The successful actress is now all set to launch a new show called Mere Apne.
