Smriti Irani on Bill Gates starring in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi
On Bill Gates' appearance on the show, Smriti Irani told CNBC-TV18, "This marks a historic moment in Indian entertainment. For far too long, women's and children's health has remained at the margins of mainstream dialogue. This initiative is a powerful step towards changing that."
Earlier, a source told ETimes, "The storyline focuses on creating and improving awareness about the health of pregnant women and newborns. Since the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation actively works on these causes, the collaboration happened naturally. Smriti wanted to use the show as a platform to promote health and social awareness through storytelling."
Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi returned on Star Plus with its second season on July 29, after a long gap of 25 years.
