Smriti Irani (L) and Ekta Kapoor (R) were accompanied by the producer's son Ravie.
Smriti Irani's Amethi victory took the entire nation by surprise. While her friends and followers in the industry hailed the historic win, haters continued to question the possibility of a non-Gandhi MP from the constituency. However, the amount of love showered by Irani's BFF, television and film producer Ekta Kapoor, has no match. Her high-on-love congratulatory tweet garnered thousands of likes and retweets.
Now, the 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi' collaborators took a 14-km trek to Mumbai's Siddhi Vinayak Temple; the newly-elected MP walked barefoot. The duo was also accompanied by Kapoor's son Ravie.

During the counting of votes for 16th Lok Sabha elections, Kapoor had posted a picture with her son Ravie and nephew Laksshya as the vote toll kept fluctuating in Amethi. Talking on behalf of the kids, she captioned the image, "All eyes on #amethi we r rooting for our aunt."
In the recently-conclued Lok Sabha elections, Irani fielded from BJP and took on Congress president Rahul Gandhi. She won by a margin of 55,000+ votes in the UP constituency which the Gandhi family has been ruling since 3-4 decades.
