Is Smriti Irani using a body double in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2? Fans share disappointment over recent scenes

Smriti Irani’s much-anticipated television comeback as Tulsi Virani in the second season of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi was expected to be a nostalgic treat for fans. The premiere episodes generated massive buzz online, with viewers thrilled to see Irani reprise her iconic role after years away from television. However, just weeks into its airing, the show has found itself at the center of controversy, as netizens express disappointment over the frequent use of Irani’s body double in key scenes.

According to a report by The Indian Express, Irani has been shooting many of her portions separately. For scenes involving group or family gatherings, the production has allegedly relied on a body double to stand in for her. This revelation has fueled frustration among fans, who took to Twitter to voice their concerns.

One user posted, “#KyunkiSaasBhiKabhiBahuThi #KSBKBT #KSBKBT2: Yeh Smriti poora season body double k saath toh nahi nikaal degi na? Barkha's character will b related with Pari ka sasuraal kya? Ekta showing what? EMA with samdhi ki family? Mera yeh tweet jinx karo.”

Another commented, “Strange that #smritiirani shoots separately and uses body double for most of her scenes. Why come for acting when not ready to take shots with the rest of the cast? That too, it’s not even a month since the serial is on air! Ridiculous!”
