Smriti Irani says she and Sakshi Tanwar were chasing 'excellence' not 'history' with their reunion.

Smriti Irani on her decades-long friendship with Sakshi Tanwar

Smriti wrote in the caption that she shares a two-and-a-half-decade-long friendship with Sakshi and that she did not know the ‘ruckus’ their characters, Tulsi and Parvati, had created. She wrote, “Grace, grit and gorgeousness—there are many adjectives that I can ascribe to Sakshi but what I can’t describe is how it felt to embrace the memory and reality of her after 2.5 decades of camaraderie. We didn’t know the ruckus Tulsi Parvati created for we were not chasing history, we happen to make it while chasing excellence.”

She also added that she would not want to reduce Sakshi to merely ‘complimentary phrases’ calling her ‘all heart’ and writing, “To say she is a loving mother, a doting daughter, an authentic human being — is to reduce her to just complimentary phrases, to bind her to mere words … so what do you say to her for this is one person that can make even silences speak. You are loved Sakshi and I hope you know you are home, hope and all heart.”

Bhumi Pednekar commented under the post with red heart emojis. Numerous fans in the comments called them ‘legends’ and wrote how their reunion ‘unlocked childhood memories’.
