Until we meet again.” This reflection underscores the show’s lasting impact on her professional journey.

Actor and politician Smriti Irani, who portrayed the iconic character Tulsi Virani, responded to Kapoor’s sentiments. She remarked, “An emotion, a journey of 26 years till we meet again #grateful for the love,” acknowledging the show’s significance in her life.
