Mumbai, March 6 Actress-turned-politician Smriti Irani and actor Amar Upadhyay, popularly known as Tulsi and Mihir from the popular TV show "Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi," reminisced about the past.
They revisited a cherished memory from 25 years ago that also featured Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan.
On Friday, Amar Upadhyay shared a throwback clip from their appearance on the first season of the iconic quiz show "Kaun Banega Crorepati."
The nostalgic moment, as seen in the picture, appears to be from around 25 years ago, when both appeared together on the show hosted by megastar Amitabh Bachchan.
Sharing the throwback clip on social media, Amar Upadhyay wrote, "A precious throwback to the moment when Tulsi proudly graced the KBC Season 1 stage."
Responding to the post, Smriti Irani wrote on her social media account, "Hey Ram... I almost forgot about this one... what amazing memories @amarupadhyay_official."
The pictures show Smriti Irani as Tulsi dressed in a bright pink saree paired with traditional jewelry, standing on the stage with Amar Upadhyay as Mihir, who is seen in a formal black suit.
Both are seen being welcomed by the host of "Kaun Banega Crorepati" and Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan.
In another picture, the duo can be seen seated at the hot seat while Amitabh Bachchan stands beside them, engaging in conversation.
Another picture captures Amar shaking hands with the legendary host while Smriti stands between them, smiling at the memorable moment.
It seems the duo appeared on KBC as part of the reality show's integration episode with "Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi."
Talking about "Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi," the show that went on air on July 3, 2000.

25 years after the first season, the reprise version of "Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi" went on air in August 2025.
Smriti Irani reprised the role of Tulsi while Amar Upadhyay is seen essaying the role of Mihir.
Actress Apara Mehta, who played the role of Mihir's mother Savita Virani in the first season, is not a part of the current one.
