Apart from keeping her social media game on point, the 44-year-old actor celebrated 20 years of her serial, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. She shared a video of one of her first scenes with late actor Sudha Shivpuri, who played Baa (grandmother) in the show. She wrote, "20 years ago this was possibly one of my first scenes with Sudha Aunty. I raced through my lines ,nervous as hell coz @ektarkapoor was called to the shooting floor by the director who told her the project was a sure shot flop since the girl cast as Tulsi did not have the talent to see it through. Upon enquiring why I was not unleashing my full potential as an actor I told her 'can I play the character as I deem fit instead of being told how to emote?' I promised her I’d take help of every colleague possible if I felt I can’t measure up alone" (sic).
