Smriti Irani, who competed against Congressman Kishori Lal in the Lok Sabha Elections of 2024 from the Amethi constituency in Uttar Pradesh, lost the race by an overwhelming majority of 167,196 votes. Following her defeat in the election, Smriti posted on Instagram to accept her loss and to recognize her years of service to the constituency. “Such is life… A decade of my life going from one village to another, building lives, nurturing hope & aspirations, working on infrastructure — roads, naali, khadanja, bypass, medical college and more,” wrote Smriti Irani.
She also thanked everyone who had supported her through good times and bad. “I will always be grateful to everyone who supported me in both my victories and my defeats. Congratulations to everyone who is celebrating today. And to those who enquire, “How’s Josh?” It’s still high, I say, Sir,” Smriti Irani continued.
Fans weren’t the only ones who responded to the post; Smriti’s friends in the entertainment industry also left supportive comments.
