Smriti Irani has turned author with her debut novel ‘Lal Salaam.’ The book is slated to hit the stands on November 29, 2021. Ahead of its release, Irani was supposed to appear on The Kapil Sharma Show as a special guest, however, she did not reportedly shoot for the episode.

According to a report in the Times Of India, Smriti skipped the shooting due to some misunderstanding. Reportedly, there was a miscommunication between Irani’s driver and the gatekeeper of the stand-up comedy and talk show  ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’. Thus due to this misunderstanding, she couldn’t shoot for the episode.

It is reported that both Smriti Irani and Kapil Sharma are not aware of the whole issue.

Meanwhile, Smriti’s novel is inspired by the tragic killings of 76 CRPF personnel in Dantewada in April 2010, which is a tribute to the exceptional men and women who have given a lifetime of service to the country, especially in confronting the challenges in the red corridor.

Irani’s debut novel ‘Lal Salaam’, follows the story of a young officer, Vikram Pratap Singh along with the challenges that he faces against a system that is stemmed from backroom politics and corruption.

The senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader while talking about her upcoming book, she said: “The story has been brewing at the back of my mind for a few years now, until there came a time when I simply couldn’t ignore the urge to put it down on paper. I am hoping readers will enjoy the pace and the insights I have tried to bring to the narrative, which is set in a less-reported part of India.”
