As Prime Minister Narendra Modi celebrates his 75th birthday today, Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan extended his heartfelt wishes, reminiscing about a special visit to Delhi. Khan, along with his wife Kareena Kapoor Khan and other members of the Kapoor family, had the opportunity to meet the Prime Minister in Delhi last year. The purpose of their visit was to personally invite PM Modi to the Raj Kapoor Film Festival, commemorating the 100th birth anniversary of the legendary actor and filmmaker.

Reflecting on the meeting, Saif Ali Khan described it as "special," and shared insights into their conversation with the Prime Minister. Despite PM Modi's demanding schedule, especially having arrived directly from Parliament, Khan noted how warm, attentive, and charming he was with the entire Kapoor family.

During their interaction, PM Modi inquired about Saif's parents, the late cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi and actress Sharmila Tagore. Saif also took the opportunity to ask the Prime Minister about his rest schedule, to which PM Modi replied that he manages only about three hours of sleep each night. Khan expressed his gratitude for the Prime Minister's dedication to the country, noting how he still takes the time to connect with people. He also thanked PM Modi for the respect he showed to the Kapoor family.

The Kapoor family's visit to Delhi to invite PM Modi to the Raj Kapoor Film Festival garnered considerable attention. Snaps from their meeting went viral, with people loving the clip shared by the Prime Minister's office. The festival, which commenced on December 13, 2024, aimed to celebrate Raj Kapoor's enduring legacy and his contributions to Indian cinema.

The event was made even more special by the release of a commemorative stamp honoring Raj Kapoor on his 100th birth anniversary. Saif Ali Khan expressed his happiness at being part of the delegation, alongside Kareena Kapoor, Karisma Kapoor, and Ranbir Kapoor, calling the stamp a "lovely honour" for the family.

Adding a personal touch to the visit, PM Modi signed an autograph for Saif and Kareena's children, Taimur and Jehangir, which was arranged by Kareena.

On the occasion of PM Modi's 75th birthday, several other celebrities, including Akshay Kumar, Rajinikanth, Suniel Shetty, Ram Charan, and Anil Kapoor, have also extended their heartfelt wishes.
