On PM Modi's 75th Birthday, R Madhavan Describes Him As A 'Human Who Values People', Shares An Anecdote From Past

Actor-director R Madhavan has wished Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his birthday. Madhavan took to his official X account and hailed PM Modi of being a human being who "notices, remembers and values people" in the most personal way. The actor further shared an anecdode from the past when he was shooting for Rocketry. Madhavan revealed the Prime Minister recognised him even in a bearded look as scientist Nambi Narayanan.

The RHTDM actor wrote on X, "When I was preparing for my movie Rocketry, I got a personal experience of Modi ji’s extraordinary attentiveness. This was right after Uri had released and become a huge success. Modi ji was visiting Mumbai for an event, where a lot of people from the film fraternity had gathered."

"Everyone was eager to meet him and click pictures. I was there too - but not as myself. I was in full look of the great scientist Nambi Narayan ji, whom I was portraying as the lead role. With a big beard and full makeup, I genuinely doubted whether Modi ji would even recognise me," he further added.

R Madhavan said, "To my absolute surprise, the moment he saw me, he said, 'Madhavan ji, you look like Nambi Narayan. Has the shooting of the film started?' I was stunned. Here was the Prime Minister of India, burdened with the responsibilities of the nation and the world, yet he not only recognised me instantly but also remembered exactly what I was working on, despite my drastically different appearance."

"Coincidentally, both of us had similar beards at the time. It remains one of my most cherished memories - because it showed me that @NarendraModi ji is not just a leader of vision, but a human being who notices, remembers, and values people in the most personal way," he wrote.
