Prime Minister Narendra Modi has personally responded to actors including Kartik Aaryan, R Madhavan and Divya Dutta on Twitter after they shared pictures and thanked him for his motivational speech during the inauguration of the National Museum of Indian Cinema (NMIC) in Mumbai on January 19. In their posts, stars wrote in honour of PM Modi and a cursory glance at his Twitter will tell you the rest of the story.
We’ve seen almost all responses but PM Modi’s reply to Kartik’s post is what the internet is currently obsessing over. Kartik posted a picture of himself with Karan Johar, Dinesh Vijan and Imtiaz Ali while we also caught a glimpse of PM Modi in it. And if you think Kartik’s caption for his post is funny, wait for PM Modi’s response.

The museum displays a collection of rare artefacts like vintage cameras, projectors, old and new editing and recording equipments, costumes, photographs and other materials since the dawn of Indian cinema in 1913 with the first full-length feature film Raja Harischandra made by the legendary Dhundiraj Govind Phadke, known as Dadasaheb Phalke. There are also film sets, props, film tapes, soundtracks, trailers, transparencies, and a rich collection of film-related literature and memorabilia depicting Indian film history in chronological order.
