Jab humaari unke saath sit down, jaise gupchup hui, toh bohot maza aaya kyunki humne unse bohot saare personal sawals bhi pooche. Unhone bohot hi friendly nature se humse baat ki.

As the video of Ranbir Kapoor’s interaction with PM Modi went viral, fans couldn’t stop laughing at his charming yet humorous Hindi. While some were amused by his pronunciation of “sawals,” others were quick to share their own funny takes on it. Ranbir’s candidness and nervousness during the interaction made the clip even more relatable, and it quickly became a talking point online.

Despite the playful reactions to his language slip, Ranbir’s heartfelt gratitude toward the Prime Minister was evident. His nervousness melted away as he spoke about how PM Modi made everyone feel comfortable and at ease. The entire Kapoor family, from Kareena and Alia to Saif and Neetu, shared how much the experience meant to them.

The discussions around the meeting also shed light on some significant moments, like PM Modi’s insights on preserving Raj Kapoor’s legacy. But ultimately, it was Ranbir’s adorable “sawals” that stole the show, giving fans plenty to laugh about and discuss. The clip proved that even in the most formal settings, a little humor and humility go a long way in making lasting memories.

Another nasty comment read, “My hopes for Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayan are getting dimmer and dimmer 😔,” whereas an internet user wrote, “The thought of Ranbir as Lord Ram, I mean how??” However, there was one fan who came out in Ranbir’s support and explained, “I think a lot of this is nerves. Ranbir’s diction has been decent for decades, making such a basic grammatical mistake is probably a nervous thing on meeting the pm. Why is everyone treating him like a sobo kid who barely knows hindi when he has done monologues fine and done shows like kapil sharma etc just fine.”

In addition to the mix of playful jabs and supportive comments, Ranbir Kapoor’s viral video also prompted a wider conversation about his acting career, especially in relation to his upcoming role as Lord Ram in Ramayana: Part 1. While some users questioned how he would portray such a revered character after his “sawals” slip-up, others took the opportunity to express their admiration for Ranbir’s versatility and charm.

A few Reddit users added their thoughts on the entire interaction, with one commenting that they had seen Ranbir perform emotional monologues with ease in past films and believed that his proficiency in Hindi was not in question. The overall consensus, however, is that the moment has brought some light-hearted fun, and many are simply enjoying the humor around the situation.

Ultimately, Ranbir’s nervous yet candid remarks added a personal and relatable touch to the meeting, showing a more down-to-earth side of the actor. Despite the social media jokes, it seems that fans are still excited about his future roles, including the highly anticipated Ramayana film.

Absolutely! Despite the nervousness, it’s heartwarming to see the Kapoor family’s meeting with Prime Minister Modi go so smoothly, with everyone clearly appreciative of the time and attention given to honoring the legacy of Raj Kapoor. The family’s heartfelt gratitude, combined with Ranbir’s candid and endearing remarks, added a personal touch to the occasion. Now, as they gear up for the Raj Kapoor Film Festival in celebration of the legendary filmmaker’s 100th birth anniversary, it’s clear that the Kapoor family is dedicated to preserving and promoting Raj Kapoor’s immense contribution to Indian cinema. Fans are sure to be excited for the festival, which promises to be a fitting tribute to one of Bollywood’s greatest icons.
