Smriti
Irani and Karan Johar were at the inaugural ceremony of FICCI frames, 2018. The
two celebrities indulged in a question and answer session where the I&B
minister and actor, Smriti Irani left Karan Johar speechless at a lot of
instance.
During their
conversation, Karan passed a comment that the film industry, which is
otherwise considered as a soft power, becomes “a soft target” at times. Smriti
instantly gave a befitting reply and said, “My issue is this. Now that you
recognise me as an insider, honestly put your hand to your heart and tell me,
how many of us manufacture that outrage because we don’t have a film which is
that good but we know we will get the eyeballs,”
Karan Johar
She continued,
“We are all in the business of it, it’s the best-kept secret which is just out
there. Nobody wants to talk about it.” To which, Johar replied, “Okay, we won’t
get into that!” To that Irani quipped, “Of course you won’t!” (WATCH THE

Not just this,
when Karan Johar said that a lot of times the industry takes their woes and
troubles to the Government, (as she belongs to the industry too), does she feel
that something needs to be changed at the fraternity’s level too?
Smriti again had
a hard-hitting reply to it which left KJo gobsmacked. She said, “We need to
stop saying that we have woes because we are not becharas...”

Just then KJO
interrupted and said, “No, we like to
project ourselves as that to get the job done.”
She continued to complete her point and said, “We have an
economic contribution of 1, 30,000 crore in this economy and we need to be very
very proud about it. How many filmmakers talk about their domestic market
potential and numbers every given opportunity. We are not only about naach gana
and somebody crying or some romantic song- we bring this much money and food to
the table of 3.6 million Indians- that’s our contribution.”
Well, we don’t
blame Kjo for being at a loss of words. After all, Smriti Irani did have some
valid and strong points to make.
