Roy and Irani had worked in one of the most successful daily soaps in TV history-- Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi-- where they played husband-wife Mihir Virani and Tulsi respectively. Roy took to social media to congratulate Irani with a heartfelt post. He wrote, "EK MUMBER!!! Amethi main Jeet ki koti koti badhai @smritiiraniofficial Aajevan vijayi bhava (sic)," which roughly translates to, "Bravo on your victory in Amethi. Hearty congratulations, Smriti Irani. May you be a winner always."

On Instagram, he even shared an image of the BJP MP and reiterated the same message.
Irani's victory was a result of years of hard work and patience. In 2014, Irani had given Gandhi a tough fight to Gnadhi as she garnered over three lakh votes in Amethi. Speaking to News18 after the victory, Irani said, "This is just a milestone. Sangathan does ‘Karyakarta Nirmaan’ (volunteer making), which is the very foundation of our organisation. We are crafted in such a way that we believe it is a great privilege to serve the people. We got indication about Rahul Gandhi’s failure in 2014, it got reaffirmed in 2017 and in 2019 it became a reality for us."
