From interacting with Bill Gates to being the highest-paid TV star: Times when Smriti Irani made headlines

In a surprising twist for the popular daily soap, a new promo confirmed Bill Gates’ cameo, showing him greeting Smriti Irani in her iconic role as Tulsi. The clip, shared by the channel on Instagram, features Tulsi on a video call with Gates on her laptop. She greets him with “Jai Shri Krishna,” to which the billionaire philanthropist replies, “Namaste Tulsi ji, Jai Shri Krishna.” Smriti, in character, adds, “Bahut acha laga yeh jaanke ki aap seedha America se mere parivaar se jud rahe hai. Aap ka hum sab besabri se intezaar kar rahe hain” (It feels wonderful to know that you are connecting directly with my family all the way from America. We are all eagerly waiting for you). Gates responds warmly, “Thank you Tulsi ji.”
