Who wants to kill Smriti Iraani?

Star status on Indian television, a happy marriage, two lovely kids, and an active life in politics. Add to that continuing death threats for the past few days, and you have Smriti Z Iraani's current life in a nutshell.

The actress has now filed an FIR in a Mumbai police station, complaining that three men have been calling her up and threatening to take her life, reports Vickey Lalwani.

No laughing matter - Smriti says she's been plagued by death threats for two weeks

In what seems to be one of the most absurd threats, Smriti Z Irani aka Tulsi of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi has been threatened that she should stop acting else...! This, at a time, when Tulsi is hardly at the pinnacle of her glory. The demi-matriarch of the Virani household is currently languishing in jail, convicted for murdering her son, Ansh. Wednesday's episode might just have her being escorted home by Mihir after her release, but that's hardly enough to give rivals sleepless nights over her acting prowess and potential. So, who could be the mystery callers?

"It all started two weeks ago. The callers know my exact whereabouts- my call times, with which actor I shoot the first scene on a given day....."

"I thought that the calls would subside, but instead they started increasing. Yesterday (Tuesday) was the limit. I was bombarded with threats. I could not take it anymore. I decided that I would lodge an official complaint with the police."

Smriti says that there has not been any extortion demand whatsoever. So, is Smriti's exit from Kyunki.... all the anonymous callers want?

She continues, "Shockingly, one of the callers called again to say that he even knew that I was reporting the matter to the police this evening. The cops came to the place where I was working. They took me to Oshiwara police station where I lodged my complaint. One of the numbers from where I have been getting the threats is a Tata Indicom number," she reveals.

No, she's not the trigger happy one, Smriti here is just practising the shot that would bring Ansh down

According to Smriti, she has no clue as to who is stalking her. "There is someone very close to where I am all the time, who is leaking out the information" she suspects, adding, "I wish I knew. We work in such a crowded atmosphere. Still, I will report for my work tomorrow."

As to her personal life, that's been in turmoil ever since the threats began, she says."The family is in a state of shock. Actually, we have been quite worried since the past two weeks itself, but I wasn't letting it show on my face."

Obviously. One saw a beaming Smriti and a contented Zubin receiving guests at the Rang Barse Holi function organised by Star in Mumbai last Saturday, with not a wrinkle of anxiety showing on their faces.

Smriti says that the cops dropped her back home safely on Tuesday. "Maybe it's due to the fact that I have made some mark in politics. But then, these guys want we to stop being an actor. I am puzzled, to say the least. I have just come back from all the ordeal," she told us at 1.15 am on Wednesday.

We are waiting to see what the police unearth.
