Ranbir Kapoor Praises PM Modi

In his interview with Nikhil Kamath, Ranbir recalled his meeting with Prime Minister Modi. He described the encounter and shared what PM Modi had said to him. “I don't think much about politics. But all of us directors and actors went to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi about 4 or 5 years ago. You see him on television, you see how he talks, he’s an incredible speaker. I remember we were sitting, and he came in.”

PM Modi Inquired About Rishi Kapoor’s Health

Ranbir elaborated, “He has a magnetic charm. PM Modi came and sat down. He spoke very personally with everyone. My father was undergoing treatment at that time, so he asked me how the treatment was going, what was happening, and other things. He spoke to everyone individually. With Alia, he talked about something else, with Vicky Kaushal about something different, with Karan Johar about another topic, and so on. Every conversation was very personal.”

He compared the Prime Minister to Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, saying, “This kind of effort is seen in great people. They make such efforts even when it's not necessary, but they do it. Like in Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan. It says a lot about them.”
