Smriti Irani, once a beloved television actress, has undeniably carved a formidable path as a Union Minister, a journey fueled by unwavering resilience and a profound sense of purpose. In a candid interview, Irani unveiled the deeply personal motivation she refers to as her “Agneepath moment,” a pivotal experience that profoundly shaped her remarkable trajectory.
When prompted to choose a song that best encapsulates her life, Irani revealed a significant shift from “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai” to “Agneepath”. She elucidated this change, stating, “I am avenging possibly every kid who never had an opportunity to equally compete. Agneepath, the original version, was about a son who was trying to fulfill his mother’s desire.” She further elaborated on this heartfelt connection, sharing a poignant memory concerning her mother: “The gore and glory was all about that the son thought that his mother has faced injustice, and I always felt that for my own mother. My mother was made to leave home when I was 7 because she could not have a son. So for me, that was my Agneepath, to get my mother back and give a roof over her head.”
Coincidentally, Irani’s iconic show, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, widely regarded as one of Indian television’s most successful soap operas, is making a comeback with its second season. Several original cast members are set to reprise their roles after nearly 17 years since the first season concluded.
