New Delhi: As the viral #FaceAppChallenge takes the internet by storm, Union Minister Smriti Irani gave the online trend an interesting twist by posting almost a decade-old picture of herself from the show 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi', in which she famously played Tulsi Virani.

The photo features the actress-turned-politician in the older version of Tulsi, wearing a black sari with grey hair. The caption with which she posted the photo has left everyone amused, including the show's producer Ekta Kapoor, whom she also tagged.

"When Ekta Kapoor gets to you before the #FaceAppChallenge," read Irani's caption. 

Comments applauding her great sense of humour have been posted in plenty and Ekta, too, was quick in sharing her views. 

"And you do it like a boss!!! It was the third leap na?" she posted.

Now, without much ado, here's the photo she posted:
