While a Punjabi vocalist croons, PM Modi replicates Diljit Dosanjh’s beats and beats the table like a dholak. Observe

Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently met acclaimed singer- actor Diljit Dosanjh, describing their interaction as “very memorable.” 
Prime Minister Narendra Modi met singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh and lauded him as “a combination of talent and tradition.” During the “memorable’ meeting”, the two discussed music, culture, and India’s vibrancy, including yoga.

Diljit, PM Modi match beats

Diljit responded, “We used to read that ‘Mera Bharat Mahan’ (My India is great), but when I travelled across India, I realised why people say this.” PM Modi highlighted India’s diversity, saying, “India’s vastness is its strength. We are a vibrant society.”

Diljit added, “The greatest magic in India is yoga.” PM Modi agreed, saying, “Those who have experienced yoga know its power.”

The singer-actor also admired PM Modi’s personal journey, saying, “I had watched your interview, sir.
