DUBAI: Indian Twitter users are having a field day with NBC veteran journalist Megyn Kelly’s question to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which she posed during an interview with the leader in Russia.
At a state dinner party at Konstantin Palace in St. Petersburg — during the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum — Modi praised Kelly for her picture on Twitter in which she is posing with an umbrella.
Seemingly taken aback, Kelly asked Modi “Are you on Twitter?“
Indian social media users are ridiculing the incident as the leader has a healthy following of more than 30 million on his Twitter account.
