<p>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".</p>
<p>"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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Her comments came after she presented an award to a Jet Airways official.</p>
