New Delhi: Members of the Kapoor family including Ranbir, Alia Bhatt, Kareena, Saif Ali Khan, Karisma, Neetu and Riddhima Sahni, met Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday ahead of the upcoming Raj Kapoor 100 Film Festival.
The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) posted a video which showed the Kapoor family sharing their experiences after meeting the PM.
During the special meeting, Ranbir’s wife Alia asked the PM if he listens to songs.
“Kya aap gaane sun paate hain? (Do you get time to listen to music?)” questioned Alia.
Modi responded, “Main sun pata hoon kyunki mujhe achha lagta hai. Kabhi mauka mil jata hai toh main zaroor sun leta hoon. (I do listen because I enjoy it. Whenever I get the chance, I listen).”
Alia then told Modi that she had seen a video clip where he was standing with a soldier in Africa who was singing a song from her movie.
“I think aap Africa gaye the. Maine wahan pe bhi ek clip dekha tha kuch jawan ke sath khade the aur vo uss time mera gana gaa rahe the. But maine vo clip dekha tha. Kafi logo ne mujhe bheja tha aur sab log bahut khush ho gaye” (you went to Africa… I saw a clip where some soldiers were singing my song. Many people sent me that clip, and everyone felt so happy),” said Alia.
The Raj Kapoor 100 Film Festival is being held to celebrate the birth centenary of arguably India’s greatest showman.
It will showcase 10 iconic Raj Kapoor films including ‘Aag’, ‘Barsaat’, ‘Awaara’, ‘Shree 420’ and ‘Mera Naam Joker’ across 40 cities and 135 cinemas. Tickets for the film festival will be priced at ₹100, sparking great deal of excitement among movie buffs.
