Well, the cat is finally out of the bag, Akshay Kumar has confirmed that he has turned interviewer to Prime Minister Narendra Nodi. The Khiladi has struck a conversation with the PM based on his likes and life in general. The candid conversation between the two has now been shared on social media. We bring five things that the PM revealed about his life how he aspired to be a soldier and then a sanyasi but ended up being a Prime Minister .

Here are the five things PM Modi shared with Akshay Kumar:

1. I never thought I’d become the Prime Minister. A common person doesn’t think that. The kind of background I come from, even if I got a simple job, my mother would have been distributing jaggery to neighbors. I had never thought above it never been outside my village. It was just that things happened and people gave me immense love and due to their love I am here today.

2. I don’t get angry easily. But it’s a part of human nature. To move ahead in life we should not let this emotion overcome us as they just spread negativity. Right from the time I began my career, I have never had an opportunity to express anger. There’s a difference between anger and being strict. I try to inspire people instead of getting angry at them. Whenever I get overwhelmed with emotions, I would write it all on paper. Then I would analyze it. This helped me realize my own mistakes. This is how I trained myself to respond to situations.

3. I was quite a wanderer. I found answers to my own questions. I have been on my own since I was very young. That led to a feeling of detachment. Later, even if I called my mother to live with me, she wanted to spend time in her village. Also, I didn’t get enough time to spend with her. as I was busy with my work. I used to feel bad I could not spend time with my mother.

4. I have a number of friends in the opposition party who spend time with me. We often have lunch or dinner together. Mamta Didi(Bannerji) always gifts me one or two kurtas selected by her in a year as a gesture of friendship that is far removed from our rivalry. When Bangla Desh PM Sheikh Hasina came to know that I love Bengali Mithai, sends me new types of sweets every year. When Mamata didi found out, she also started sending me sweets once or twice a year.

5. I never had a bank account earlier. When I was in school, people from Dena Bank came and gave us a piggy bank. I never had enough money. Later, the bank officials tracked me and they wanted to close the account due to inactivity. Thirty-two years later, they told me I had an account since childhood. When I became chief minister, salary used to get credited in the bank, when I left the post I told the bank to give away the money as I had no need for it. They tried to dissuade me, saying I had cases against me and I might need it, but I insisted I wanted to give Rs. 21 lakh from the bank account to people in need.
