Chandigarh, February 27

It’s Thursday and Smriti Irani is back with another witty throwback posts.

The former actress shared an old photograph from her appearance at Karan Johar’s talk show, ‘Koffee With Karan’, along with Tv star Sakshi Tanwar.  

While the actresses can be seen sporting traditional sarees, the host is in formals. What grabs your attention is the hilarious caption alongside the photo from their younger days.

Considering how Karan is famous for his pout these days; Smriti joked about how the photo was taken at a time when the popular Bollywood director smiled.

Smriti, who's now turned into a politician, didn't stop there. She asked her followers to notice how slim she was, and went on to blame Karan's hampers for her weight gain.

She wrote, "POUT MIA alert...Throwback to a time @karanjohar smiled in photos taken ... P.S—- notice how slim yours truly was...totally blame the damn hampers for the weight gain #tbt."
