Why every family still needs a Tulsi‑like figure, says Smriti Irani

In a candid interview, Irani argued that every household requires a unifying presence, someone who listens, empathises, and strives to keep the family together. She pointed out that conflicts are natural, but escalating them is counter‑productive. Tulsi’s strength lies in her ability to hear differing viewpoints, offer gentle guidance, and act as a bridge between generations. Irani highlighted that the character never settles for a single solution; instead, she adapts with patience, sensitivity, and a willingness to understand each generation’s unique challenges. This adaptability continues to endear Tulsi to audiences across ages.
