Union minister Smriti Irani was among the guests to attend the recent star-studded wedding of Isha Ambani and Anand Piramal. The MP posted a picture of herself posing with Saif Ali Khan, who was also at the venue, with the caption: “23 years ago a rising star gave a rookie from Delhi advice on how to survive in the chaos of the maximum city; a few tips here & there as to how her dreams can take flight. Little did he know the rookie will turn into a Jumbo Jet. Thank you for the memories #saifalikhan”
The actor described how Saif had given her career advice when she had just moved to Mumbai from Delhi.
