Prime Minister Narendra Modi has enjoyed a significant fan following from Bollywood stars since he took charge. Be it openly supporting him for the second term during the recent elections, the star-studded selfie that had taken the Internet by storm, or biopics in multiple mediums, the celebrities have not shied away from expressing their admiration for the Prime Minister. PM Modi’s recent visit to the United States of America similarly sparked a feeling of pride in the B-Town celebrities, not just about their PM, but also as an Indian. Several stars got emotional with the thunderous response given to PM Modi by the 50,000-strong crowd at the ‘Howdy Modi’ event held at the NRG Stadium in Houston on Sunday. One among them was Rishi Kapoor, who not just wished PM Modi and President of the United States Donald Trump for a constructive meeting, but expressed his pride about the Indo-American community that gathered at the event and pride in being an Indian. PM Modi, not just acknowledged the veteran actor’s encouragement, but was even aware about Rishi Kapoor undergoing treatment in the USA. The Prime Minister stated that they missed meeting each other only by a few days. The PM also wished Rishi Kapoor a speedy recovery, and hoped for his active participation on social media.
