Smriti Irani prays on first Sawan Somvar ahead of ‘Kyunki....’ comeback

On the auspicious occasion of the first Shravan Somvaar, politician-actress Smriti Irani offered prayers to Lord Shiva.

Taking to Instagram, she shared a photo where she is seen putting curd and flowers on a Shivling. She captioned the post in Hindi, "Namaste Astu Lord Vishweshwaray Mahadevai Tripurantakaya Best wishes to all of you on the first Monday of Shravan month, dedicated to Lord Shiva. May devotion, strength, and prosperity be there in all of us with the grace of Bholenath. Har Har Mahadev!."

Ahead of the launch of her show "Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2," Smriti offered her prayers on the first Shravan Somvaar. She shared a photo of a Shivling and extended heartfelt wishes to everyone.

Shravan, also known as Sawan Maas, is considered one of the most sacred months in the Hindu calendar. Devotees dedicate this time to worshipping Lord Shiva and often observe fasts, known as Shravan Somwar or Sawan Somwar Vrats, on all Mondays throughout the month. The first Monday of the Sawan month falls on July 14.

Meanwhile, Smriti Irani is all set to reprise the iconic role of Tulsi Virani after 25 years in "Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2." The show will also star Amar Upadhyay as Mihir Virani, Hiten Tejwani, Gauri Pradhan, Shakti Anand, Kamalika Guha Thakurta, Shagun Sharma, Rohit Suchanti, Aman Gandhi, Ankit Bhatia, and Tanisha Mehta.

In a lengthy Instagram post, producer Ekta Kapoor had earlier revealed why she initially said no to the idea of relaunching her iconic TV show. She posted a note that read, "Why Kyunki, why now? When the 25th year of 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi' was approaching and the idea of relaunching it surfaced, my first reaction was a firm no!  (IANS)
