Mumbai, Dec 11 (NationPress) - On Tuesday, December 10, PM Modi gathered with the Kapoor family in New Delhi to honor the cinematic legacy of Raj Kapoor on the occasion of his centenary.
Some memorable moments from this gathering were shared by the PMO. In the footage, PM Modi is seen conversing with the Kapoor family, discussing Raj Kapoor's significant impact on Indian cinema.
However, the most entertaining incident occurred when PM Modi jokingly exclaimed 'Cut!' as Reema Jain (Raj Kapoor’s daughter) began to speak with him.
The amusing exchange started when Reema Jain initiated her dialogue with PM Modi and seemed to have difficulties articulating her words while addressing him. As she attempted to begin her sentence with 'Aadarniye Pradhan Mantri Narendra Modi Ji', PM Modi promptly interrupted with 'Cut!', prompting laughter from all present.
The Prime Minister also encouraged the Kapoor family to produce a film focusing on Central Asia about Raj Kapoor, who remains a beloved figure even after many years. He emphasized the importance of reaching younger generations in Central Asia and urged the family to create a film that could serve as a connection.
Recognizing the affection and recognition received globally, Ms. Reema Kapoor referred to Shri Raj Kapoor as a 'Cultural Ambassador' and praised the Prime Minister for being the 'Global Ambassador' of India, expressing the Kapoor family's pride in him.
Shri Modi highlighted the elevated status of the nation today, referencing Yoga as an example that is widely discussed around the world. He further noted that he had conversations about Yoga and its significance with leaders from various countries during their meetings.
