Jet Airways denied me job for 'lack of good personality':Irani


New Delhi, Aug 24 (PTI): "My application for cabin crew position was rejected by Jet Airways, which felt I didn't have a good personality," Union Minister Smriti Irani said today.

At her witty best, the television actress-turned- politician also said that thanks to that rejection, she got a job at McDonald's and the "rest is history".

"I don't know if many people know that one of the first jobs that I wanted and I lined up for was cabin crew at Jet. I was rejected because I was told I don't have a good personality.

Thank God for your rejection. After that, I got a job at McDonald's and the rest is history," she said.

Speaking at an awards function organised by the Air Passengers Association of India (APAI), the Textiles Minister also said that she was joining the celebration as a passenger.

Her comments came after she presented an award to a Jet Airways official.

    Ms. Irani, you do not need to use the word, Thank God because you did not fit the bill for an air hostess but you were perfect for waitress in McDonalds. Just by acting in small screen you will not become the actress of the century either. Indeed you will be history after 2019 in fact you were history because people rejected you and you lost election but Feku took pity on you so that you can act like you're more educated that those VC of the Universities.
