An old music video featuring Union Minister Smriti Irani dancing alongside pop singer Mika Singh has once again caught the internet’s attention, offering a delightful flashback to her pre-political days. The video, which shows a younger Irani shaking a leg with Mika, brings back nostalgic memories of her time in the entertainment industry before she stepped into Indian politics.
Before becoming a well-known face in Indian politics, Smriti Irani gained massive popularity through her roles in Ekta Kapoor’s television serials. It was during that phase of her career that she appeared in a lively music video with Mika Singh—long before he rose to pop stardom. In the resurfaced clip, the duo is seen dancing and singing, reminding fans of how far both have come in their respective journeys.
The video re-emerged at a time when both Irani and Mika were in the headlines for very different reasons. On the same day the video made waves online, Smriti Irani was making news for being replaced as the Human Resource Development (HRD) Minister. Meanwhile, Mika Singh found himself embroiled in controversy with another molestation case filed against him. While the timing was coincidental, the internet couldn’t help but draw attention to the contrast between the cheerful throwback and their present-day headlines.
Netizens have reacted to the clip with a mix of surprise and fondness. Many social media users commented on how time has flown, with some marveling at Smriti’s transition from the world of glitz and glamour to the seriousness of Indian politics. The phrase “pun intended” has been humorously used in online discussions, referencing both the passage of time and their respective public images today.
