"Kyunki Bill bhi kabhi beta tha": Memes go viral as Bill Gates might appear in "Kyuki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2"

Smriti Irani, the actor turned politician, has returned to the second version of one among the most popular and cherished daily soaps 'Kyunki saas bhi kabhi bahu thi’, and with this a rumour is in the air, about the cameo appearance of Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates.

How did the rumours get fire

The promo for the Star Plus show features Irani's character Tulsi Virani warmly greeting a mystery guest on a video call with her trademark "Jai Shri Krishna." She tells the caller, "It feels really nice that you are connecting with my family directly from America. We are waiting for you eagerly," before inviting viewers to guess who the guest might be. Reports reveal that this guest is indeed Bill Gates, marking his second television cameo after his appearance on the American show "The Big Bang Theory".

As confirmed by an Etimes report, Gates' appearance will span three episodes and focus on maternal and newborn health, highlighting the charitable work of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. His appearance aims to leverage the show's wide reach to raise awareness about women's and children's health, for the cause that Irani has long championed as the former Minister for Women and Child Development.

Social media turns into a meme ground for users

The episodes will include video call conversations between Gates and Tulsi Virani, blending entertainment with a meaningful social message.

Netizens reacted with humour and excitement: one joked, "Kyunki Bill bhi kabhi beta tha," while another said, "He will help to open the Windows to dry out that washed laptop." A fan said, "I finally get it. The biggest global collaboration is not between countries, but between the Virani family and Microsoft.
