It is a never-before scenario for Indian pop culture.
Microsoft Cofounder and iconic American philanthropist Bill Gates will appear on Ekta Kapoor’s long running soap Kyunkii…Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi which went into its second season this year after a gap of 25 years.
Speaking on the return of the show Smriti Irani says, ‘Kyunki… Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi isn’t just a show it’s a shared memory. For those who created it and the millions who embraced it, it was a story of families, faith, and the fabric that binds us across generations.’
‘Twentyfive years later, it still lives in our hearts. My gratitude to those who made the journey possible.’
Bill Gates’ appearance in this week’s episode is not short of a miracle, although getting him to agree was not a problem.
Apparently Producer Ekta Kapoor put in months of request to Bill Gates’ team. Gates responded in person and said he would be delighted to appear on the show, as he had heard of it.
In the episode Smriti Irani and Bill Gates would be on a video call. They will discuss the importance of family and how to deal with the younger generation and its specific demands which often overlap with family interests.
