Speaking at the event, Shahid Kapoor told a news agency that “Modi ji wanted to stay connected with people, which is the sign of a great leader. Historically, whoever has been the greatest, most popular leaders, be it kings or prime ministers, they’ve always been connected to people. I think it’s a simple thing but the connection is quite deep. To speak your mind and listen to what people have to say, tell them what you think, there can’t be a deeper connection than that. It’s a fantastic format. I enjoyed listening to it. I felt very fortunate that I was called here. It’s almost ten years, so it’s fantastic that I was a part of this today. It’s a privilege to be here.”
Madhuri added, “He’s such a big leader. It’s so very great of him that he takes time out of his hectic schedule for the people. He’s trying to understand their problems which is amazing part. He’s reaching out to various sections and classes of people in small towns and villages. He’s doing such great work, highlighting those that many aren’t really aware of, and bringing their heroism to the forefront. Not only in our country, but even globally, he is being heralded, which is amazing. If he can reach out into small villages, it’s for sure it it will be an inspiration for a lot of youngsters. Age no bar, he’lll inspire everyone”.
Whereas Rohit Shetty shared that the Prime Minister was an inspiration to all citizens. Citing examples from the 100th episode, the filmmaker said that the show was bringing people closer together. The 100th episode event was celebrated in Indian consulates in other parts of the world as well.
