TULSI 2.0: THE DESI DIVORCE BOMB THAT’LL MAKE INDIA SCREAM “ARRE NAHIN!

 Yo, imagine Indian TV exploding like Diwali on steroids if Tulsi Virani—OG queen of sanskaars—finally snaps, dumps cheating Mihir (who’s busy Netflix-and-chilling with Noina), and swipes right on a silver-fox hottie at 55! Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi reboot would go full masala chaos.

Aunties in Tier-2 towns? Clutching pearls, WhatsApp forwards screaming #TulsiTraitor. “Arre, yeh kya feminism le aayi?!” TRPs dip faster than a bad biryani. OG fans (who cried when Mihir faked death in 2001) flood X with #SaveTulsiMihir memes—think Tulsi crying in a saree, captioned “Shaadi todna paap hai!”Meanwhile, Gen-Z baddies? Popping champagne emojis. #TulsiQueen trends with edits of her in red lipstick, strutting with a CEO bae. “Mihir who? Let the man-bun uncle cry in his khichdi!” Urban reels go viral—Tulsi doing the Naatu Naatu hook step with new dude. Hotstar crashes from 18–24 logins.Family living rooms? WW3. Nani wants Tulsi to forgive (again). Beti wants her to file for alimony and a Maldives vacay. Reddit polls: 55% “Divorce the gaslighter,” 45% “Ekta, fix this!” Trolls slut-shame Tulsi’s glow-up, but Twitter claps back: “Men get midlife crisis, women get midlife CRISIS? Bye.”Ekta Kapoor? Cackling in her office, counting TRP spikes. Controversy = cash. One week boycott, next week record views. India debates: Can bahus reboot love post-50? Divorce rates quietly climb.Bottom line: Half the nation heartbroken, half hashtagging #Tulsi2.0. Either way, Tulsi’s serving main character energy—and the remote’s on fire.

New Prarthana of Puspha Impossible has done bold content before

 Usually, TV casting is very particular, and given the family profile of the viewing universe, only girls with a pristine image are given lead roles.  However, that seems to be changing. Producer Jamnadas Majethia( JD) of  Hats  Off production has cast Marathi actress Pooja Katurde as Prarthana  in Puspha Impossible, who has previously done bold content in her 2003 film  Gemadpanthi (2023). Take a look  

https://youtu.be/1tBIaO5c6Tk?si=Ffh_-F_s0guzsAFa   (time 3.30 minutes )

 Engineer-turned-actor Pooja has also  appeared in other  Marathi films, such as   Good Luck, Cryptomania (2023)

It remains to be seen how viewers will respond to such a casting choice. Nonetheless, limiting an actor to certain genres is restrictive, as talented performers can portray a diverse range of roles.

 And just because  Pooja has done one show, which might not be aesthetically

 Should we haul her over the coals for it?   We should forget the past and give her a fresh chance.

If she is a good actor, the audience will accept her with folded arms.

Kudos to  JD for attempting to buck the trend.   Hope other producers follow suit, we need a more varied pool of actors to take the industry forward.   Today's audience also understands that they should not judge an actor by what they do on screen, but by their real-life persona.

Puspha Impossible is taking a seven-year leap, and the role of Pushpa (Karuna Pandey), daughter-in-law of Prarthana, till now played by Indraxi Kanjilal, will now be essayed by Pooja.

The story will now focus on Pushpa's tryst as a lawyer and her family saga.

We tried to get in touch with JD, but could not get through by the time we put this story to bed.
