On Tuesday, the Kapoor family—Ranbir Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Neetu Kapoor, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, and Aadar Jain, along with their partners—Alia Bhatt, Saif Ali Khan, Bharat Sahni, and Anissa Malhotra—met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi to invite him to celebrate the 100th birth anniversary of legendary actor-filmmaker Raj Kapoor, which is commencing from 13th to 15th December.
Now, a special video from the Prime Minister’s Office has been released in which the Kapoor family shared their experience of meeting PM Modi. Ranbir revealed that the Kapoor family was earlier ‘nervous’ about meeting PM Modi. The actor said, “Aaj humare Kapoor family ke liye bohot hi special din hai. Pradhan Mantri ji ne Shri Raj Kapoor ko itna samaan diya aur unhone hume apna kimti waqt diya. Iss mulaqat ke liye hum zindagi bhar abhar hai. Jab humare unke saath ek sit-down ghup-shap hui, toh bohot maza aaya, humne unse bohot saare personal sawals bhi puche.”
“Unhone bohot hi friendly nature se baat ki. I think humare andar jo nervousness thi, aur hum sab ki hawa tight thi. Lekin, he was very good and made us all feel very comfortable. I really thank him,” added Ranbir.

Earlier today, Ranbir’s wife, actress Alia Bhatt shared photos from their special meet and greet. Her caption read, “Art is timeless. And sometimes to move forward, we must look back and learn. Mr. Raj Kapoor’s impact was truly global. He marked his footprint all across the world with the movies he made, the stories he told. Yesterday was such an honour to be invited by our respected Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, to spend a lovely afternoon commemorating the life and legend of Mr. Raj Kapoor.
“Merely listening to his stories, makes me learn so much, and his legacy continues to inspire. We’re thrilled to celebrate 100 glorious years of his artistry with the ‘Raj Kapoor 100 Film Festival’ from 13th-15th December in 10 cities, 40 cinemas, 135 screens, across the country.”
