Modi mentions Twinkle Khanna's angry tweets to Akshay; she responds saying 'looking at this in a positive way'

In a candid chat at 7 Lok Kalyan Marg in Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi opened up about all things 'non-political' to actor Akshay Kumar. The conversation steered from Modi's love for mangoes to former US President Barack Obama, his sleep schedule and West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee.

During the chat, the PM also took a moment to comment on Kumar's wife Twinkle Khanna, who is often known for taking potshots at the government. Replying to 'Kesari' actor's question on how active he is on social media, Modi said, "I am active on social media, it helps me stay up to date with what's happening around us."

He went on to add that he also sees Kumar and his wife's - who goes by MrsFunnybones on Twitter - tweets, saying,"The way she expresses her anger towards me on Twitter, I think there must be peace in your life at home. All her anger must be coming out at me only. So in a way I have helped you."


He also revealed that he had met Khanna's maternal grandfather Chunnibhai Kapadia years back.


The actress-turned-author, who is known to speak her mind, was quick to respond to Modi's comment, saying, "I have a rather positive way of looking at this-Not only is the Prime Minister aware that I exist but he actually reads my work :)."


PM Narendra Modi engaged in an hour-long chat with Kumar on Wednesday.
