Watch: Smriti Irani goes paragliding (and makes fun of her detractors too)
The Union textiles minister is both adventurous and witty.
“...And then there might be some who wud be wondering ‘Did she have to land!!!!’”
Union Textiles minister Smriti Irani has always laughed at her critics, of whom she had a great number during her stint as Education minister in the Central Government. So, when she went paragliding, she was quick with a quip as she posted the video on her Instagram.
Most Indian politicians are not known to have interesting lives beyond their field of work. Irani, a former actor, made a lateral entry into politics, and fortunately does not seem to have given up on life outside politics.
Irani records her non-political life on Instagram rather than on twitter, where she is present in her official capacity. And here she is, reminding us of who she once was.
