Little did we knew about this history and thanks Smriti for sharing this memory.

Smriti more often turns nostalgic and keeps on sharing throwback pictures on her Instagram handles. Even though she has left acting, she is still cordial with her ex-colleagues and old friends. She appeared in daily soaps like ‘Thodi Si Zameen Thoda Sa Aasmaan’, ‘Ramayan, ‘Virrudh’ and many more.

Let’s go a few years back to know more about Smriti. She was born in Delhi to a middle-class family. As she was the eldest of all the three siblings, to support her family financially she started promoting a beauty product for Rs 200. Smriti was very keen on modeling. So she got into Miss India contest in 1998, but couldn’t get through the finals. She then moved to Mumbai to try her luck in modeling. She started working at McDonalds. Smriti also applied for the position of cabin crew at Jet Airways but she was rejected. Later on, she cracked an audition and then replaced Neelam Kothari to host an episode of the show ‘Ooh La La La’.

Such an inspiring journey of Smriti Irani, isn’t it?
