One of the most iconic daily soaps of Indian television was Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. The daily soap was a huge craze in its time and still has a strong fanbase going on. In fact, it was almost one of the things which defined the television industry in the 90s. Smriti Irani earned a lot of fame playing the lead role of Tulsi Virani, the good and righteous matriarch of the Virani family. 

The premise of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi is based on Mihir Virani marrying Tulsi, the daughter of their family priest. However, his mother and some other family members strongly disapproved of the match and tried to create obstacles in Tulsi's life. But she rose above it all victorious. If Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi was made in Hollywood, these actors would be perfect for it.

Tulsi Virani - Sandra Bullock

There have been fewer characters as villainous as Ansh in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahun Thi and Joker. Both the actors managed to play in details the evil qualities that their characters were said to possess.
