Smriti Irani made her mark in every household with Ekta Kapoors serial Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. Now she is also active in politics. This show is going to start again. Meanwhile Smriti has told an interesting thing. When Smriti had just entered politics she had a contract for Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. This was around the year 2014. Not only this she was also offered a film with Rishi Kapoor but she had to turn down this project as she was becoming a cabinet minister.
Ektaa Kapoor put in the effort for Smriti Irani
Smriti Irani was at the inauguration ceremony of an event on June 29. Talking to Barkha Dutt there she said We started the saas-bahu tradition we created the template of emotional family drama. She (Ektaa) was the first and when we started this we were given the slot of 10.30 pm when the whole of India goes to sleep. I think the credit for this should go to Ektaa Kapoor and her team that they took a completely dead slot. We were competing with Amitabh Bachchan and Kaun Banega Crorepati so there was no question of our program being successful. It was kept as if it was politely rejected. Ekta still persisted.
Refused to do entertainment after PMs call
Smriti Irani revealed another secret related to Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. She said I had a contract in 2014 too and I turned it down because I had to serve as a cabinet minister in the Indian Parliament. I had two projects then - a film with the late Rishi Kapoor and Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi but I left both because I got a call from the Prime Ministers Office to take the oath.
