Smriti Irani Like Never Before In Conversation With Karan Johar at We The Women
Smriti Irani opens up to Karan Johar on fame, failures, feminism, and legacy—bold, moving, and truly unforgettable.
Smriti Irani, a celebrated actor, politician, and three-time MP, recently sat down with Karan Johar at the We The Women event hosted by Barkha Dutt. Known for her role in the iconic TV show Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Irani discussed her remarkable journey from selling cosmetics on Delhi streets to becoming a cabinet minister handling five portfolios. The conversation touched on her return to acting after 17 years and the potential revival of her groundbreaking show, which redefined Indian television by addressing issues like marital rape and adult literacy.
Irani shared insights on resilience, recounting how she overcame rejection, including being turned away by a watchman early in her career. She emphasized the challenges of being a woman in male-dominated fields like media and politics, breaking glass ceilings, including pay parity. Reflecting on her roots in poverty, she credited her tenacity to a "hungry stomach" and a lack of need for validation, focusing instead on meaningful relationships and gratitude toward supporters like Sudha Murty. Irani also dismissed conforming to expectations, embracing her role as a "sword" for change.
