Ranbir Kapoor recalls meeting ‘magnetic’ PM Narendra Modi, compares him to Shah Rukh Khan: “There are many such great men”
In a recent podcast episode with Nikhil Kamath, Ranbir Kapoor, who rarely delves into political discussions, recounted a memorable meeting with PM Modi that left a lasting impression on him. “I don’t think much about politics. But all of us – actors and directors – went to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi 4 to 5 years back. You see him on television, you see how he talks – he’s a great orator,” Kapoor began.
Describing the meeting, Kapoor highlighted the Prime Minister’s magnetic charm and personal touch. “I remember the moment we were sitting and he walked in. There is a magnetic charm about himself. He came and he sat down. He spoke to each and every person about something so personal,” he said.
PM Modi inquired about his father, the late Rishi Kapoor, who was undergoing treatment at the time. “My father was going to treatment at that time, so he asked me how’s the treatment going, what’s happening and all of that. He talked to Alia about something else, Vicky Kaushal about something else, Karan Johar about something and so on. Everything was very personal,” Kapoor recalled.
He drew parallels between PM Modi and other influential figures he has encountered, noting the extraordinary effort they put into personal interactions. “That kind of effort, you see in great men. They put that kind of effort- they don’t need to, but they do. Like Shah Rukh Khan. There are many such great men. It says a lot about them,” Kapoor added.
Nikhil Kamath, the host and entrepreneur, echoed Kapoor’s sentiments by sharing his own experiences with PM Modi. Kamath, who has been in the Prime Minister’s company at various events, praised Modi’s relentless energy and dedication. “I respect him and I admire him. Once we were in the US, Washington DC and he would do a speaking session with us and a couple of American businessmen in a room, 8 AM in the morning. Then would go give a speech somewhere else at 11 am, he would then sit with the vice president at 1 pm. He would then do something at 4 pm, something else at 8 pm and something else at 11 pm. At 8 pm, I was tired. I was feeling sick after two days. He was then going to Egypt to do the same thing all over again. This is his energy at his age. There’s a lot to learn from him,” Kamath recounted.
On the work front, Ranbir Kapoor will be seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War and Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana.
