In a surprising crossover, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has been confirmed to make a virtual cameo in the reboot of the iconic Indian television show, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2. The latest promo features Gates connecting with Tulsi Virani, played by Smriti Irani, through a video call.
Bill Gates Greets Tulsi in Hindi
The promo has already gone viral, showing Gates speaking Hindi as he greets Tulsi with the traditional “Jai Shri Krishna, Tulsi Ji.” Tulsi responds warmly, expressing delight that Gates is connecting directly from America and saying, “Bahut acha laga yeh jaanke ki aap America se seedh mere parivaar se jud rahe hai. Aap ka hum sab besabhri se inteezaar kar rahe hai (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 replies simply, “Thank you Tulsi ji.”
The Instagram caption accompanying the promo revealed the reason behind this appearance: “Iss baar #KyunkiSaasBhiKabhiBahuThi ki kahaani ke beech, ek naya rishta jud raha hai — sehat ka, samvedna ka, aur badlaav ka. Aur iss kahani mein jude hain duniya ke sabse bade changemaker — Bill Gates, ek soch ke saath: har maa aur har bachcha rahe surakshit aur swasth. Do alag duniyaan, ek hi maqsad ke saath — maa aur bachche ki sehat, har ghar tak pahunchani hai. Mr Bill Gates aur humari Tulsi ke iss vishay par vichaar jaanne ke liye dekhiye, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi.”
Smriti Irani described Gates’s participation as a significant development for Indian television. Speaking to CNBC TV-18, she said, “This marks a historic moment in Indian entertainment. For far too long, women and children’s health has remained on the margins of mainstream dialogue. This initiative is a powerful step toward changing that.” The episodes will focus on maternal and newborn health, highlighting the philanthropic work of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Bill Gates’s appearance will span three episodes of the show. Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 airs on Star Plus at 10:30 pm and is available for streaming on JioHotstar.

Fans expressed excitement and humour, with memes jokingly referring to Gates as a part of the Virani family or noting his Indian television debut. One fan wrote, “I finally get it. The biggest global collaboration is not between countries, but between the Virani family and Microsoft.”
