After Kartik Aaryan tweeted the picture with the caption, "Losers’ backfie with the Honorable PM!", he received a reply from none other than the PM himself. 

Taking to Twitter, PM Modi had a warm reply to the celebs as he wrote, "Not losers but Rockstars! No selfie Jab We Met but there will always be another occasion. :)"
