Former actress and Union Minister of Minority Affairs Smriti Irani recently recalled an uncomfortable incident from her days of shooting the daily soap, 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi'.
Smriti, who also holds the Ministry of Women and Child Development portfolio, shared that she was called to work on the sets of her hit show a day after she suffered miscarriage.
At that time, she was also working on another show 'Ramayan' directed by Ravi Chopra.
Smriti's co-actor from 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi' told producer Ekta Kapoor that she was lying following which Smriti showed up at Ekta's office with her medical documents.
She told Neelesh Misra on 'The Slow Interview': "I was not aware that I am pregnant. I was on the set (of 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi') and I told them I am not well enough to shoot and asked to be allowed to go home. But still, I worked, and by the time they let me go, it was evening already. The doctor suggested, I go for a sonography. On my way, I started bleeding, and I remember it was raining. I stopped an auto and asked the driver to take me to the hospital. When I reached the hospital, a nurse came running, asking for an autograph... all while I was bleeding. I signed an autograph, and then asked her, 'admit kar loge? I think I have suffered a miscarriage'."
