Anupamaa star Rupali Ganguly recently video-called Smriti Irani, welcoming Tulsi Virani back to TV and addressing rumors of a rivalry between their popular shows.

Anupamaa Meets Tulsi Virani

For days, social media was buzzing with speculation. Many wondered if Anupamaa, played by Rupali Ganguly, felt threatened by the return of Tulsi Virani, portrayed by Smriti Irani, in the upcoming *Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2*.

Rupali Ganguly herself initially remained quiet, further fueling talk that “Anupamaa’s top spot was in danger.” However, all these rumors were put to rest when Anupamaa and Tulsi Virani finally had a video chat.

The Viral Conversation

In a recently released promo, Rupali Ganguly is seen video-calling Smriti Irani. Rupali shares, “I’ve been thinking of calling you for 3-4 days. Everyone has been guessing whether you’d return, but you’re back!”

Smriti Irani, as Tulsi, warmly responded, “Why wouldn’t I return to my own people, my own family?” Anupamaa then welcomed Tulsi to the family, with Smriti adding, “We shall keep meeting now.”

Rupali cheerfully concluded, “Yes, I’ll be on TV at 10 PM and you at 10:30 PM, so we’ll meet every day. My entire Anupamaa family is eagerly waiting to meet the Kyunki family.” This exchange cleared the air and brought smiles to fans.

Setting the Record Straight on Competition

For quite some time, *Anupamaa* and *Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2* have been widely pitted against each other by viewers and media alike. Many believed there would be a fierce competition for TRP ratings.

However, Amar Upadhyay, a key figure from *Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi*, recently offered a different perspective. He clarified that since both shows air on the same channel, Star Plus, there is no real competition.

Upadhyay explained that Star Plus is happy to have two strong shows. He also highlighted that the characters and themes of *Anupamaa* and *Kyunki* are vastly different. Both are women-centric dramas, but they cater to distinct storylines and audiences.

  • Rupali Ganguly and Smriti Irani’s video call directly addressed rivalry rumors.
  • Both actresses expressed mutual respect and excitement for each other’s shows.
  • Industry insiders confirm that there is no competition as both shows are on the same channel.
  • *Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2* premieres tonight on Star Plus at 10:30 PM, returning after 25 years.

The highly anticipated *Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2* is set to premiere on Star Plus, promising a fresh dose of drama for its loyal fanbase.

    * *Buzz:* People thought Anupamaa was scared. Rupali didn’t promote Kyunki 2. This made people talk.

    * **Intro:** Make it punchier. “Anupamaa star Rupali Ganguly recently video-called Smriti Irani, welcoming Tulsi Virani back to TV and addressing rumors of a rivalry between their popular shows.” (Good, concise).
    * **Headings:** Use H2s. “Anupamaa Meets Tulsi Virani”, “The Viral Conversation”, “Setting the Record Straight on Competition”.
    * **Paragraphs:** Break down longer sentences. Ensure 1-3 sentences per paragraph.
    * *Example before:* “Ever since the first look of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 was released, many on social media have been pitting the show against Anupamaa. A popular opinion on the internet suggested that Anupamaa, aka Rupali Ganguly, and the show’s team must be feeling insecure now that there is someone to challenge them for their top spot on the TRP charts. What further added fuel to the idea that ‘Anupamaa ki kursi khatre main hai’ was when Rupali Ganguly didn’t promote the show in any way.”
    * *After (shortened, broken):* “For days, social media was buzzing with speculation. Many wondered if Anupamaa, played by Rupali Ganguly, felt threatened by the return of Tulsi Virani, portrayed by Smriti Irani, in the upcoming *Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2*.” (Paragraph 1) “Rupali Ganguly herself initially remained quiet, further fueling talk that “Anupamaa’s top spot was in danger.” However, all these rumors were put to rest when Anupamaa and Tulsi Virani finally had a video chat.” (Paragraph 2) – This works well.
    * **Conversational Tone:** Use words like “buzzing,” “warmly responded,” “cheerfully concluded.”
    * **HTML Formatting:** Add `

    `, `

    `, `

    `, `

      `, `

    • ` tags.
      * **Word Count Check:** As I write, I keep an eye on the length. If it’s too short, I can expand slightly on the impact of the shows or the public perception. If too long, I can trim redundant phrases. The current outline suggests it will fall within 300-600 words.
      * **Exclusions Check:** No H1, no emojis, no asterisks. Ensure all external links or embeds from the original are omitted.

      6. **Final Review:** Read through the entire generated text.
      * Does it flow well?
      * Is it easy to read on a mobile screen?
      * Are all constraints met?
      * Is the information accurate to the source?

      This systematic approach ensures all requirements are met and the output is high quality.
