Encyclopedic overview
Smriti Zubin Irani (née Malhotra; pronounced [ˈsmɾɪt̪i ɪˈɾaːni]; born 23 March 1976) is an Indian actress, politician, fashion model, and television producer. She received widespread acclaim for her role of Tulsi Virani in the soap opera Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi by Ekta Kapoor, which became the most watched show at its time and won her numerous accolades. A member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Irani has held various roles within the Indian Union Cabinet. Before entering politics, Irani had a successful career in the entertainment industry. In 2025, after nearly 2 decades away from acting, Irani reprised her role of Tulsi Virani in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2.
Her paternal family includes Punjabi and Marathi heritage, while her maternal family has a Bengali heritage. Irani joined as a BJP karyakarta in 2003 and since then has completed more than 22 years in the BJP. With over three-generation family of party supporters, from her grandfather as a swayamsevak, and mother as a BJP booth activist, it highlights that her relationship with the party is familial.
