Renowned filmmaker Shekhar Kapur and veteran actress Shabana Azmi on Wednesday congratulated actress-turned-politician Smriti Irani for taking charge of the Information and Broadcasting Ministry.
Irani, who heads the Textiles Ministry, was appointed as I&B Minister on Tuesday, a day after M. Venkaiah Naidu, who was handling the Ministry, was picked as the NDA's Vice Presidential candidate.
"It's great to have you as our new minister Smriti Irani. Content is driving our world now. So great to have someone that understands it at the helm," Kapur tweeted on Wednesday.
