Just as the Virani family prepares to celebrate two weddings, a familiar face is about to walk back into their lives and change the course of everything. Star Plus' Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi welcomes back one of Indian television's most unforgettable characters as Suvarna Jha reprises the iconic role of Tripti Virani after 18 years. The woman who once shook the foundations of the Virani household is back, bringing with her the mystery, confidence and unpredictability that made Tripti a name audiences have never forgotten. Her return also marks the long-awaited reunion of Tripti and Tulsi, one of Indian television's most iconic rivalries, promising a chapter where old equations are tested once again and every meeting between the two is bound to leave the Virani family changed forever.
Suvarna Jha shared, "It’s been 18 years since I last played Tripti, so my return feels surreal. I’ve come back to this with a lot of trepidation and excitement, knowing that the audience remembers who I was, rather than knowing who I am now. She was such a memorable character and I know people have strong memories of her from the original show. I hope that the fans will embrace an older, more nuanced version of Tripti.
Coming back to the sets was wonderful, as was meeting all my old friends and colleagues with whom I had spent so much time. I’m excited to see what Tripti gets up to this time around in this new avatar, and what she will do when she comes face to face with Tulsi."
