Prime Minister Narendra Modi is on a visit to Russia where he will be interacting with several journalists from the world. One such interaction took place after he landed in St Petersburg on Thursday morning when National Broadcasting Company’s reporter Megyn Kelly met Modi.
When Kelly met Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin, the Indian PM praised a picture that Kelly had posted on Twitter with a caption, “Things are looking up in St. Petersburg – the rain stopped…& I will interview President Putin on Friday.” But either Kelly did not do her homework well or she was at a lack of words over the comment, the NBC reporter responded by asking Modi, “Are you on Twitter?”
The Prime Minister heard her question and laughed it out. Here is a snippet from the conversation that Kelly tweeted:

Clearly Modi was ready with his ‘ice-breaker’. An excellent example of how to be ‘people prepared’. No wonder he is a Mass Leader!
