PM Modi Invokes 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' After Indonesia President Admits He Has Indian DNA

Prime Minister Narendra Modi struck a light-hearted note during his address to the Indian diaspora in Indonesia by referring to the popular Bollywood film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai to describe the close ties between the two nations. Modi said he had noticed the song's popularity in Indonesia and joked that when India and Indonesia move forward together, it goes far beyond "kuch kuch" and leads to "bahut kuch." Thanking President Prabowo Subianto for his warm welcome, Modi praised the deep affection Indonesians have for India. President Prabowo also entertained the audience, revealing that a genome sequencing test showed he has Indian DNA, joking that it explains why he and many of his ministers enjoy dancing and singing to Indian songs. #narendramodi #indonesia #prabowosubianto #indiandiaspora #kuchkuchhotahai #indiaindonesia #breakingnews #diplomacy #modi #bollywood —————————————————————————————————————————— TOI Bharat – Your Window to India And Its Neighbourhood TOI Bharat delivers the latest news, biggest voices, sharpest views and in-depth coverage of India’s political, social and economic landscape.
