New Delhi: Former HRD Minister and current Union Textile Minister Smriti Irani surprised students at an event where she was the chief guest.
The Union Textile Minister was the chief guest at the annual convocation ceremony at the National Institute of Fashion Technology. She took everyone by surprise when she whistled during the on-going graduating student’s photo session.
Amidst the loud cheering of students for the ceremony, Union Textile Minister who seemed happy and glad, surprisingly out of the blue whistled which was later followed by the other students.
The delightful incident happened after she delivered a powerful speech at the event. She said, “I greeted a lady who has studied Tangaliya – this is the kind of expertise that we are missing in the ministry and it would be my proud privilege if I can invite you to become my right hand in helping revive this dying craft, which you have so beautifully underlined.
Adding, “I was also honoured to meet the lady who has studied Indian costumes and its impact from 1950 to 2010. In her study, we see the influence our legacy, in terms of our culture and craft, has had not only on costuming, but also the impact of it when one sees it on the big screen and adopt it in their daily wear. I am fortunate to also have the responsibility of the ministry of Information and Broadcasting and in the month of November in Goa an international film festival will be conducted where 100 countries will find representation. Filmmakers from across the world will be there where we celebrate the beauty and magic of cinema. I would like to extend a special invite to her (Vandana Jaglan) to present her studies in front of filmmakers from different countries.”
