Ankit, while talking to the news agency ANI, said PM told him that he can’t eat his meals on time and had a problem regarding sleep too. “I told him that someone will have to work if the countrymen have to sleep comfortably,” the news agency quoted Ankit disclosing insights of his meeting with the PM.

The fitness freak revealed that he messaged the PMO as he was very desperate to meet PM Modi. He said he wasn’t able to believe when he got a call from the Prime Minister’s office stating that his request was accepted. The duo spent 30-40 minutes together.
