Rejected for not having a good personality, she is the Textile Minister of India. She refreshed her memory lane at a function, organised by the Air Passengers Association of India in New Delhi. There she presented an award to a Jet Airways official.
Minister told PTI, “I don’t know if many people know that one of the first jobs that I wanted, and I lined up for, was cabin crew at Jet (Airways). I was rejected because I was told I don’t have a good personality. Thank God for your rejection. After that, I got a job at McDonald’s and the rest is history” .
She joined politics in 2003, and contested twice. Though she has lost each time, Smriti Irani was taken into Cabinet as HRD minister in 2014. She was the youngest cabinet minister at the age of 38.
