# Akshay Kumar's Hilarious Take: Interviewing PM Modi Easier Than Delivering a Bollywood Blockbuster! Imagine stepping into the lion's den of Indian politics, microphone in hand, only to find it **easier than nailing a box-office hit**. That's exactly what Bollywood superstar **Akshay Kumar** confessed recently, while brushing off criticism about his Canadian passport in a candid chat.[1] Akshay, known for his action-packed khiladi roles and witty one-liners, revisited his iconic 2019 interview with **Prime Minister Narendra Modi**. Back then, the actor turned interviewer at Modi's residence, diving into light-hearted topics far from policy debates. "I asked whatever came to my mind—no research needed, not even for something as simple as *aam* (mangoes)!" Akshay quipped during promotions for *Good Newwz*, leaving everyone in splits.[1][3] PM Modi revealed his love for mangoes, shared how West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee gifts him kurtas and sweets yearly despite political rivalries, and even opened up about his modest beginnings and limited sleep (just 3-4 hours, thanks to a body clock that impressed even Barack Obama).[4][5][7][8] What made the chat flow so smoothly? Akshay credits Modi's chameleon-like ability to "mould himself" to the conversation—whether joking with a Bollywood star or inspiring kids. "I was nervous at first, but he made it feel natural. We cracked jokes, and it just flowed," Akshay recalled, emphasizing it was all about simple, straight questions on personal life, favorite fruits, and UN speech prep.[3][6] The non-political vibe was a deliberate "breather" amid elections, as Akshay tweeted, with Modi himself praising the fun exchange.[2] This gem of an interview, released on YouTube, humanized the PM and showcased Akshay's effortless charm—proving he's as comfy grilling world leaders as he is flipping stunt sequences. Fast-forward to now, and Akshay's addressing trolls questioning his patriotism over his Canadian citizenship, flipping the script with humor: delivering hits is tougher than that PM pow-wow![1]
