“Aap pehle Pradhan Mantri hai jisse main mila hoon. Aur aapne aankhon mein aankh milake, personally humse mile and do baar mile hai. Aap mein itni achi energy hai aur aap itni mehnat karte hai. Aur aap jo karte hai, main aapko congratulate karna chahta hoon. (You are the first Prime Minister that I have met. You have spoken to me while looking into my eyes and met me twice. Your energy is so good and you work so hard. I want to congratulate you in whatever you do),” Saif told PM Modi.

“Thank you for opening your doors and hum sab se milne ke liye and itne accessible hone ke liye (for meeting us and for being so accessible for us),” Saif said. PM Modi replied, “Main aapke pitaji ko mila hoon aur main soch raha tha ke aaj mujhe teen peedi ko milne ka mauka milega. Lekin aap laaye nahi teesri peedi ko (I have met your father and I thought today I will get to meet the third generation as well. But you didn’t bring them).” He then burst into a laugh.
