Smriti Irani, a former model and now a prominent politician, has shared some delightful anecdotes from her early days in the entertainment industry. But here's where it gets interesting: she recalls a piece of advice from none other than the King of Bollywood himself, Shah Rukh Khan!
When Smriti first met Shah Rukh, he humorously advised her not to get married. She playfully responded, 'Bhai, too late!' This witty exchange left a lasting impression on her. But that's not all; Smriti's journey in the spotlight began with a silhouette role in a film starring Shah Rukh and Juhi Chawla, directed by Aziz Mirza. And this is where the story takes a surprising turn...
On her very first day on set, Smriti wore the iconic black outfit from the song 'Raja Ko Rani Se Pyaar Ho Gaya,' originally worn by Manisha Koirala. But the surprises didn't end there. Smriti's connection to Bollywood's elite continued as she shared a story involving Salman Khan's father, the renowned writer Salim Khan. She recalled how he playfully scolded her husband and Salman for stealing his car in their youth, leaving her amused and slightly embarrassed.
Smriti's journey is a fascinating blend of chance encounters and memorable moments with industry icons. It makes one wonder, how do these seemingly small interactions shape the lives of those who go on to become influential figures? And what other untold stories might be hidden in the early days of these celebrities' careers?
