Smriti Irani responds firmly to question about marrying friend's husband

Actress turned politician Smriti Irani strongly responded to a social media user's question during an 'Ask Me Anything' session on Instagram. The user inquired whether she had married her friend's husband. While discussing her marriage to Zubin Irani and his ex-wife Mona, Smriti faced this query: "Did you marry your friend's husband?" Expressing her dissatisfaction, Smriti stated, "No, sir. Mona is 13 years older than me, so there is no possibility of her being my 'childhood friend.' She is family, not involved in politics. I urge you not to involve her; engage with me, debate me, criticize me, but refrain from dragging an unrelated individual into the mud. She deserves respect."
