What’s
the
Kapoor

khandaan

doing
with
Prime
Minister
Narendra
D
Modi?


Kareena
Kapoor

explains
with
a
long
post:
‘We
are
deeply
humbled
and
honoured
to
have
been
invited
by
the
Honourable
Prime
Minister,
Shri
Narendra
Modi,
to
commemorate
the
life
and
legacy
of
our
grandfather,
the
legendary
Raj
Kapoor.

‘Thank
you
Shree
Modiji
for
such
a
special
afternoon.
Your
warmth,
attention
and
support
in
celebrating
this
milestone
meant
the
world
to
us.’

‘As
we
celebrate
100
glorious
years
of
Dadaji’s
artistry,
vision
and
contribution
to
Indian
cinema,
we
honour
the
timeless
impact
of
his
legacy,
which
continues
to
inspire
us
and
generations
to
come.’

Raj
Kapoor’s
birth
centenary
is
on
December
14,
and
the
Kapoor
family
hopes
that
Modi
will
be
a
part
of
the
big
celebrations
planned.

Saif
and
Ranbir
in
conversation
with
Modi.

It’s
quite
a
coincidence
that
in
one
of
Saif’s
latest
films,
he
played
Raavan
(Adipurush)
while
Ranbir
plays
Ram
in
his
next.
