Bill Gates’ TV Debut: A Social Message with Entertainment
Global philanthropist Bill Gates will now appear on Indian television’s most popular show Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. This show is set to mark a new chapter, as for the first time an international philanthropist will be a part of a Hindi TV series. This collaboration is between the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Star Plus.
A New Social Twist in the Story
Smriti Irani returns as Tulsi Virani in this special three-episode story. The story will focus on the importance of women’s and children’s health, nutrition, and primary care. Tulsi will be seen leading a grassroots health initiative that will raise awareness in the community.
Smriti Irani and Ekta Kapoor’s Reactions
Smriti Irani said, “This is a historic moment for Indian television. For too long, women’s and children’s health hasn’t found a place in mainstream discussions. Because it has always been a mirror of society, and with Bill Gates’ involvement, we are furthering that sentiment.”
Producer Ekta Kapoor explained that the show has always reflected India’s changing social landscape. “Now, we have tried to combine entertainment with purpose. Bill Gates’ involvement is not only a matter of pride for us, but it also shows that stories can transcend boundaries and bring about change in society.”
