Rumour goes that Smriti Irani will no longer play Tulsi, the role that made her, and the character that made the show, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi one of the most popular soaps on television.

Apparently, Smriti, who plays a grandmother in the show now, will have an accident and will require plastic surgery.

This is when Gautami Kapoor will step in and take over.

Gautami, who is the wife of Ram Kapoor (Jai Walia in Kasamh Se), may have a lot to live up to.

Do you think Gautami will make a good Tulsi? Or do you want Smriti to continue playing the bahu you love most?

Have your say!
