Smriti Irani beat Rahul Gandhi in the Indian General Elections
‘Kyunke Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’ was one of the greatest hits while we were growing up. The storyline was totally bonkers and unrealistic, but there was something about the show that made audiences stick. One of the main characters was Tulsi, the main bahu of the household. After the show ended, the Tulsi actor, Smriti Irani took to politics and had some major success.
In 2014, under Modi’s government, Smriti Irani was appointed the Minister for Human Resource.
Later, among scandal, she was sifted to the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.
This year, Smriti Irani ran against Rahul Gandhi, the head of the Indian Congress Party, on his family seat in Amethi.
Amethi is to the Gandhis what Raiwind is to the Sharifs. A sure shot win on election day, given how loyal the people of the area, so it seemed unlikely that Smriti would take the lead.
Just imagine if TULSI BHABHI defeats RAHUL GANDHI in Indian elections. The embarrassment will be too strong for Papoo.

The news was hard to come to terms with, to say the least.
Still can't wrap my head around the fact that Rahul Gandhi lost his family seat at Amethi to Tulsi from 'Kyun key saas bhee bahu thee'. #IndiaElections2019 #Amethi

Tulsi is a powerful woman, and she has some interesting powers.
If Tulsi can bring back Mihir back to life, she can definitely defeat Rahul Gandhi at Amethi. #ElectionResults2019 #BJP

But some people were here for the news!
Hey Tulsi, good job honey! @smritiirani

While the news itself is funny when you think of it in terms of the show, however, Smriti clearly has a massive political career and this wasn’t her first election. On paper, it makes sense for her to win! We may disagree with her party and their politics but this is a big win for her, she has managed to topple a whole political family on their stomping grounds.
