The promo starts with Tulsi saying, “Jai Shri Krishna! It feels really nice that you are connecting with my family directly from America. We are all eagerly waiting for you.” 

Gates replies with a smile, “Thank you Tulsi ji,” in simple Hindi.

Fans were shocked and delighted to see the Microsoft co-founder speaking Hindi and sharing the screen with Smriti Irani. 

The clip went viral within hours of release, with people joking online, “Kyunki Bill bhi kabhi beta tha.”

This marks Bill Gates’ first appearance on Indian television. His cameo isn’t random — it’s part of a larger campaign to promote awareness around mother and child health, a cause supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Smriti Irani, who played Tulsi for years before entering politics, called the moment “historic” and said it felt good to connect entertainment with a real social cause.

The original Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi was one of India’s most popular TV dramas, running from 2000 to 2008. Its return has already created buzz, and now with Gates joining in, the show has gained global attention.

The promo aims to show how popular media can help spread awareness about important issues. By appearing with Tulsi, Gates brings global attention to the need for better healthcare for mothers and children in India.
