Smriti Irani misses Sakshi Tanwar, credits her for making 'the hardest things look effortless'
Mumbai, May 26
Actress-turned-politician Smriti Irani, on Monday night, shared a heartfelt post reminiscing about television superstar and good friend Sakshi Tanwar and praising how she makes hard things easy.
Taking to her social media account, Smriti posted a beautiful selfie with Sakshi lauding her for being effortless.
In the picture shared by Smriti, both the actresses looked elegant in traditional sarees paired with classic bindis and minimal jewellery.
Smriti wore a red and green saree in a traditional Gujrati style, while Sakshi looked graceful in a black saree with red detailing.
Both the superstars were seen posing and smiling for the picture, which seemed to have been clicked on the sets of Smritis's show Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, where Sakshi played a special appearance a few months ago.
Sharing the nostalgic picture, Smriti captioned the post, "There are days - and then there are people - you remember forever because they made the hardest things look effortless. One such day .. remembering that one person. #Sakshi #effortlessly #elegant #manicmonday."
For the uninitiated, Smriti Irani and Sakshi Tanwar are known as television's two most iconic matriarchs.
Through their respective characters, Tulsi Virani and Parvati Agarwal, the ladies went on to rule the Hindi GEC space for years.
The aura and popularity of their respective characters were immensely loved, so much so that both Smriti Irani and Sakshi Tanwar were the first and only ones from Hindi TV to appear on the iconic talk show Koffee with Karan.
Smriti as Tulsi Virani from Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi and Sakshi as Parvati from Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii are considered as the top on-screen bahus even after 26 years of their respective show's airing.

Both are such strong women in their own fields. Smriti ji as a politician and Sakshi ji as an actress. True inspiration for Indian women. But I wish we saw more of Sakshi on screen now. She's too talented to be away from our TV screens.
As someone who grew up watching Indian TV with my Indian friends, I always admired the grace both these actresses brought to their roles. Smriti's post shows genuine friendship. Nostalgia at its best! 🇮🇳
Kya baat hai! Tulsi and Parvati were the bahus of every Indian household. Both set new standards for Indian television. Smriti's transition from TV to politics is also commendable. But honestly, I miss the simplicity of those shows compared to today's dramas.
This is so sweet! I remember watching both shows with my Indian roommate back in uni. The way these two portrayed strong, graceful women was inspiring. Smriti's post is a beautiful reminder of their legacy. 🌸
Both are timeless beauties! But I have to say, Sakshi Tanwar deserved more recognition for her work in the film industry too. She did some amazing films. Smriti's post reminds us how these two legends shaped Indian pop culture. Miss those days!
