No… I have had the privilege of being around him at a couple of events and people read into it. I really respect and admire him.” Highlighting Prime Miner Narendra Modi’s hectic work schedule, Kamath said, “He would do a speaking session with us, some businessmen in a room, at 8 am, he would give a speech somewhere at 11 am, at 4 pm he would do something else. Till 8-9 at night, I was tired, but he would go to Egypt to do it all over again. His energy is crazy. There is definitely a lot to learn from him.” “I think his energy is at this age… There’s a lot to learn. I feel like there’s a lot to learn from everybody. And there is definitely so much… to learn from him. And I feel privileged to have seen him in such close quarters,” he further added. Kapoor also met PM Modi in 2019. Reflecting on his own experience, he said, “I don’t really need to think much, but I know that when I met the Prime Miner, all of us went to meet him four or five years back. A couple of young actors and directors. Of course, you see him on television and you see how he talks. He’s a great orator. But I remember the moment that we were sitting and he walked in, and he had this magnetic charm about himself. And he came and he sat down and he spoke… to each person, something so personal.” “Like my father was going through treatment at that time. So he was asking how the treatment was going and what’s happening and all of that. He was talking to Alia about something else. Vicky Kaushal about something else. Karan Johar about something else, like everything, was very personal. And that kind of effort, you see in great men. When they put in that effort,” he further expressed, adding, “And that says a lot about that person.” The meeting with the Prime Miner took place in New Delhi, where several celebrities met him in 2019. The gathering included actors such as Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Vicky Kaushal, Ranveer Singh, Bhumi Pednekar, Ayushmann Khurrana, and Sidharth Malhotra. Prominent filmmakers Karan Johar, Ekta Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, Varun Dhawan, Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, and Rohit Shetty were also in attendance.
