Recently, Muntashir reflected on a deeply moving experience of recording a poignant letter penned by Prime Minister Modi shortly after the demise of his mother, Heeraben Modi.
The 17-page letter, rich with personal anecdotes and gratitude, served as a heartfelt tribute to his mother’s life and legacy.
Posting on X (formerly Twitter), Muntashir shared, “After his mother's passing, PM @NarendraModi wrote a 17-page letter for her. Every line was soaked in love, gratitude, and memories. I was privileged to record them in my voice. As I recorded, I struggled to hold back tears.”
“That letter revealed how Hiraba was not just Narendra Modi's mother but his guide, his strength, and his first teacher in life. What I thought would take only a few minutes extended much longer. We had to pause after every two lines—the emotions were so overwhelming that my throat tightened with tears,” he added.
