NDTV
Akshay Kumar said that he had refrained from putting forward policy questions to the PM as it would have looked "fake"
Superstar Akshay Kumar had interviewed Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2019, perhaps for the first time that the premier of the country was sitting down for such a question and answer session.
Ahead of the release of his period drama 'Prithviraj,' the actor recalling his 2019 interview, for which he received both bouquets and brickbats, said that he had refrained from putting forward policy questions to the PM as it would have looked "fake".
"I asked him questions straight from my heart, things that I wanted to know, just like a common man would ask. Things like why our PM wears his watch upside down? I just wanted to know it (on the manner in which PM Modi ate mangoes). Otherwise, what difference would there be between me and others? I would not go and question him about policies. That is not my job. If I had done so, it would have looked fake. I just wanted to ask him simple and straight questions. We just talked and I cracked jokes," Akshay said in an interview to ANI.
The 'Toilet: Ek Prem Katha' actor recalled that he was taken aback when he got the opportunity to interview the Prime Minister. In a candid conversation with the actor, PM Modi had dwelt of little known details like disclosing what his favourite fruit was, his preparation for the first UN speech and so on.
