PM Modi said that Raj Kapoor established India's soft power in the world at a time when that word was not even coined.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi met the Kapoor family on Tuesday in Delhi and remembered the life and legacy of cinema icon Raj Kapoor. Raj Kapoor established India's soft power in the world at a time when that word was not even coined, he said during a candid chat with the Kapoors.
"In the diplomatic world, we talk a lot about soft power. And at a time when this phrase didn't even exist, Raj Kapoor sahab established India's soft power all over the world. It was his big service to India," PM Modi said.
The Prime Minister met Raj Kapoor's daughter Rima Jain, daughter-in-law Neetu Kapoor and grandchildren - actors Karisma Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, Aadar Jain and Armaan Jain.
