TV’s star comedian Kapil Sharma met Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the inauguration ceremony of the National Museum of Indian Cinema in Mumbai on 19 January. And it seems the rendezvous has left both impressed.
Kapil took to Twitter to comment on Modi’s sense of humour. He wrote: “Respected pm Sh @narendramodi ji,it was nice meeting u n great knowing ur inspiring ideas and progressive views about our film industry and our nation. N sir I must say u have a great sense of humor too! regards”.
The PM has replied on the tweet saying, “When @KapilSharmaK9 appreciates somebody's humour, it sure makes that person happy and I am no exception. :) Thank you for the kind words Kapil.”
At the event, Modi assured the government's full support to strengthen the film industry, set up a university for films and entertainment, tweaking laws to tackle the challenges encountered by filmmakers including piracy, and the future of digital and social media vis-a-vis films.
