Here's what Barrack Obama asks PM Narendra Modi whenever they meet

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and actor Akshay Kumar recently had a friendly conversation, wherein PM Modi shared a happy moment with the actor. The PM shared about his likes and dislike, involving life in broadly.

Giving a peek into his friendship with former US president Barack Obama, the Prime Minister said Obama had once expressed concerns over his sleep cycle due to his “addiction to work”. “Even Obama, who is now a close friend of mine, asks me, ‘Why do you sleep so less? This is your addiction to work but you should not sleep so less.’ This has now become my body cycle. I sleep for 3-3.5 hours and I sleep well,” he said.

Prime Minister Modi and Obama met for the first time in 2014 in Washington and the two leaders struck a friendly cord. In one of his media interactions, Obama referred to Modi as "my good friend, Prime Minister Modi".

Further revealing his friendship with West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, PM Modi shared that Mamata Banerjee sends him gifts three-four times a year. "People will be surprised and I should not say this in the election season, but Mamata didi sends me gifts every year. She still sends me one or two kurtas that she picks herself a year".

PM Modi went on to tell Akshay Kumar that Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina also sends him new types of sweets every year. The Prime Minister further responded to a question on whether he had friends in the opposition. "Yes, very good friends, we share meals too."
