During their interaction, the family had a warm and engaging conversation with the Prime Minister. Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor, and their children were among the prominent members of the Kapoor family present at the meeting. PM Modi, who is known for his lively personality, expressed his excitement to meet Saif and Kareena’s children, Taimur and Jeh, but had a playful remark about their absence.
Saif Ali Khan’s Gratitude
In a video shared by media, Saif Ali Khan spoke fondly of his meeting with PM Modi. He shared that this was the first time he had ever met an Indian Prime Minister and thanked Modi for his warm and personal approach. Saif said, “You are the first Prime Minister that I’ve met. You spoke to me directly and made me feel so comfortable. I’ve met you twice now, and I can feel the positive energy you radiate. I appreciate the hard work you put in, and I want to congratulate you on everything you do.” Saif expressed how thankful he was that PM Modi took the time to meet with them, calling the experience both special and memorable.
He also thanked the Prime Minister for being so approachable and accessible. “Thank you for always being open to meeting us and being so accessible,” he added, which made the interaction even more special for the Kapoor family.
PM Modi’s Playful Remarks About Taimur and Jeh
PM Modi, always known for his sense of humor, couldn’t resist making a light-hearted comment about Saif and Kareena’s children. With a smile, he said, “I’ve met your father, and today, I was hoping I’d get to meet the third generation as well. But you didn’t bring them with you!” The comment made everyone laugh, and both Kareena and Karisma Kapoor responded, mentioning that they did want to bring Taimur and Jeh along but couldn’t for various reasons.
While the kids weren’t able to meet PM Modi in person, Kareena later shared a sweet gesture on social media. She posted a picture showing the autograph of PM Modi for Taimur and Jeh, making sure the kids didn’t miss out on this special moment.
