Smriti Irani is one of the most iconic personalities in India who has made a name for herself in two very different professions. After gaining immense love and fame from Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Smriti joined the BJP and has remained an important member of the party ever since. However, the actress-turned-politician is making her comeback to the small screen with the second season of the show. Amidst this comeback, speculation was rife about whether she had taken a break from her political career. However, the former MP cleared all the doubts recently.
Smriti Irani reveals that she has not taken a sabbatical from politics
On the social media platform, X, a fan of Smriti Irani wished her all the best for her upcoming show, Kyunki Saas Bhi Bahu Thi season 2. However, the fan also hoped that it was a ‘brief sabbatical’ from politics. The actress-turned-politician replied to the tweet, saying she was not taking a sabbatical. Smriti also reminded that she had balanced both her acting and political career for 25 years. However, she had taken a break from the acting world for a decade while serving as a Cabinet Minister. The former MP stated that she has never shirked her ‘sangathan (BJP) responsibilities’ and never will. Replying to the fan’s tweet about her speculated sabbatical from politics, Smriti Irani wrote:
“No sabbatical . Have worked both in media and politics for 25 years with only a decadal break due to my responsibility as Cabinet Minister. Never compromised on my sangathan responsibilities, never will.”
