[Watch] PM Modi Was Welcomed With ‘Chaiyya Chaiyya’ To White House; Shah Rukh Khan’s Epic Response Wins Hearts

New Delhi: Shah Rukh Khan’s witty response to a question on Twitter during his AskSRK sessions, that Indian PM Narendra Modi was welcomed at the White House on his film song “Chaiyya Chaiyya”, is winning hearts. The Indian PM Narendra Modi was in the United States when he was extended an invitation for a state visit. He was welcomed at the White House with the South Asian cappella group Penn Masala singing “Chaiyya Chaiyya” from Shah Rukh Khan’s 1998 film Dil Se. 

Dil Se is special for Shah Rukh Khan. A Mani Ratnam film costarring SRK, Manisha Koirala, and Preity Zinta, it’s considered a classic. With a great story and melodious songs, the film is considered among Shah Rukh Khan’s best.
