Bill Gates is officially heading to Indian television! The Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist is all set to make a guest appearance on Ekta Kapoor\u2019s Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2, marking his debut in a Hindi TV show. What began as wild internet speculation has now been confirmed through a new promo released by the show\u2019s team.<\/p>\n

\"SmritiSmriti Irani as Tulsi and Bill Gates<\/p>\n

The clip shows Gates joining Smriti Irani\u2019s iconic character, Tulsi, via a video call. The brief exchange has Gates greeting Tulsi with a warm \u201cJai Shri Krishna,\u201d to which she says, \u201cBahut acha laga yeh jaanke ki aap seedh America se seedh mere parivaar se jud rahe hai. Aap ka hum sab besabhri se inteezaar kar rahe hai (It feels wonderful to know that you are connecting directly with my family all the way from America. We are all eagerly waiting for you).\u201d Gates replies with a simple, \u201cThank you Tulsi ji.\u201d<\/p>\n

The promo\u2019s caption hints at the deeper message behind his appearance: \u201cIss baar #KyunkiSaasBhiKabhiBahuThi ki kahaani ke beech, ek naya rishta jud raha hai – sehat ka, samvedna ka, aur badlaav ka. Aur iss kahani mein jude hain duniya ke sabse bade changemaker – Bill Gates, ek soch ke saath: har maa aur har bachcha rahe surakshit aur swasth.\u201d It continues, \u201cDo alag duniyaan, ek hi maqsad ke saath – maa aur bachche ki sehat, har ghar tak pahunchani hai. Mr Bill Gates aur humari Tulsi ke iss vishay par vichaar jaanne ke liye dekhiye, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi.\u201d<\/p>\n

Netizens were over the moon about the news, with many commenting with joy on the post. \u201cWhat a power move! Now that\u2019s a crossover no one saw coming. Awesome!\u201d was one comment on Instagram. Another comment read, \u201cCrossover of the year \ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\ude2d.\u201d One more netizen said, \u201cWell, she’s unstoppable. Nobody can shake her. Dear Tulsi you go girl, be unstoppable, be invincible.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a historic moment..\u201d<\/p>\n

Smriti Irani also spoke about the collaboration in an interview with CNBC TV-18. She said, \u201cTo bring together one of the world\u2019s most respected global voices with one of Indian television\u2019s most influential storytellers is more than a collaboration \u2014 it is the start of a Jan Andolan, a people\u2019s movement rooted in awareness, empathy, and action.\u201d She further added, \u201cThis is a historic moment in Indian entertainment. For far too long, women and children\u2019s health has remained on the margins of mainstream dialogue. This initiative is a powerful step towards changing that.\u201d<\/p>\n

This will be Bill Gates\u2019s second-ever TV appearance, after his cameo on the popular sitcom The Big Bang Theory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bill Gates is officially heading to Indian television!
