With the reappearance of Smirti Irani as Tulsi on Kyunki…, Gautami Kapoor's character is exposed as a fraud.
Gautami's Tulsi has shown her true colours; she is not Tulsi but an accomplice in Mandira's plan to get Mihir back into her life.
Prachi from the Kyunki… creative team explains, "Gautami's character is basically Juhi Thakural. She is Mandira's old friend and was helping her win Mihir back. We have not decided on what Smriti Irani's track will be but it is certain that her character will not have suffered from any memory loss. There is sure to be some major drama surrounding her." says Prachi.
According to rumours, Mihir will be revealed as Jas Thakural and that is why he is with Mandira now.
On another note, it is said that after Smriti's comeback in Kyunki…, her own show Mere Apne will go off air within a few months. But the channel denies this and on behalf of the channel, the PR of the show says, "TRP's for the show are improving. News about the show going off air is just rumours.
We decided on a new track for the show and it has been extended. It does not matter to us whether Smriti joins another serial. Though she is a prominent character on the show, the track right now is not focused on her but more on her children. Her re-entry on any other show will not affect our show. This is not a Smriti-centric serial."
Right now, Smriti is doing three shows and hosting one reality TV show. Apart from that, she will soon start work for her movie which she is producing with UTV.
