Rao jokes about Smriti Irani's surname at film festival
Actor Rajkummar Rao joked about Information and Broadcasting Minister Smriti Irani's surname at the International Film Festival of India. Talking about Iranian filmmaker Majid Majidi, Rao said it's a coincidence that both Majid and Smriti are 'Irani'. "You...poked fun at a minister and it only shows as a government how tolerant we are," said Smriti Irani in response.
