Prime Minister Narendra Modi met singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh and the two discussed a range of topics, from the vastness of India and its vibrancy to music and the benefits of yoga. \u00a0<\/p>\n

In a video posted on Instagram on New Year’s Day, the Prime Minister shared snippets of their conversation.<\/p>\n

The singer praised PM Modi and said the way he spoke about his mother and the river Ganga (also revered as a mother) moved everyone, while the PM said Mr Dosanjh has lived up to his name Diljit (the winner of hearts) and won the hearts of people worldwide.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“When a boy from an Indian village makes India’s name shine, it feels good. Your family named you Diljit and you keep winning over people,” the PM told Mr Dosanjh in Hindi.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The singer said he had always read about how great India is and it was only when he went around the entire country that he realised why that was so.<\/p>\n

“The large size of India is a strength. We are a vibrant society,” the PM responded.<\/p>\n\n

The singer also said that yoga is almost a magical creation from India and PM Modi said only people who experience the ancient practice know its power.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I saw your recent interview. For us, you are the Prime Minister… it’s a big post, so sometimes we forget that there is a son and human being occupying it. When you talk about your mother or Ganga Maa… our hearts are overcome with emotions,” Mr Dosanjh said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The singer then sang a devotional song on Guru Nanak.<\/p>\n

PM Modi and Mr Dosanjh also wrote about their meeting on X.<\/p>\n

“A fantastic start to 2025. A very memorable meeting with PM @narendramodi Ji. We talked about a lot of things including music of course!” the singer wrote.<\/p>\n\n
