Throughout the podcast, PM Modi shared numerous anecdotes from his childhood, his experiences growing up, his education, and the events that led him into politics. At one point, he opened up about making mistakes, reflecting on his humanity. “Mistakes happen, and I too can make some. I am also a human, not god,” Modi said, which emphasized his humility and self-awareness as a leader. It was a rare, candid moment, allowing listeners to see a more vulnerable side of the Prime Minister.
The podcast was notable for the relaxed tone it maintained, with PM Modi and Kamath engaging in easy banter. Kamath began the conversation by humorously mentioning his struggles with Hindi, stating that as a South Indian, his command of the language wasn’t strong. “Sir, please forgive me if my Hindi is not good. I am South Indian. I mostly grew up in Bangalore. My mother’s city is Mysuru, where people mostly speak Kannada. My father was near Mangalore. I learned Hindi in school, but I don’t have fluency in the language,” Kamath confessed.
To this, PM Modi responded with a reassuring and friendly remark, saying, “Hum dono ki aise hi chalegi” (We will manage together like this). He added that he too was nervous about how the conversation would go, given that it was his first podcast. Modi’s casual and empathetic response further helped set the tone for the conversation.
