New Delhi:
A day after Akshay Kumar said he would be getting into an "unknown and uncharted territory" with something he had not done before, the Bollywood actor on Tuesday said he will have a "candid and completely non political" chat with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday. The 51-year-old star took to Twitter to announce that his conversation with the prime minister will be a "breather" in election time. "While the whole country is talking elections and politics, here's a breather. Privileged to have done this candid and COMPLETELY NON POLITICAL freewheeling conversation with our PM @narendramodi," Kumar wrote on the microblogging site.
PM Modi replied to the tweet, saying, "Dear @akshaykumar, it was good talking to you about everything, except politics and elections :) I'm sure people would like watching our conversation." Kumar also shared a 24-second-long video snippet from the conversation. "Getting into an unknown and uncharted territory today. Doing something I have never done before. Excited and nervous both. Stay tuned for updates," said the actor on Monday, who has starred in a series of patriotic and social issue-driven films in recent years.
