On the eve of the inauguration of the National Museum Of Indian Cinema in Mumbai on Saturday, star power descended at the event for two main reasons- one was obvious for the love of cinema and second to meet and interact with the Honorable Prime Minister Of India Narendra Modi, who was in Mumbai to inaugurate the museum. Film and Television faces alike got to interact and share a few words with the Prime Minister, but not all were lucky.

Our chocolate boy on the block, Kartik Aaryan, who could not take a selfie with the PM, got a backfie with him. And joining him in the picture were filmmakers Dinesh Vijjan, Karan Johar and Imtiaz Ali. And Kartik captioned it as:
Losers’ backfie with the

However, consoling the disheartened actor was Narendra Modi Himself. He replied back to Kartik’s post and told him to look forward to other opportunities where the duo could cross paths again.
Not losers but Rockstars!
No selfie Jab We Met but there will always be another occasion. :) https://t.co/1Ud7D5jIvd

Well, this is the third time that the industry has had the pleasure of meeting the country’s Prime Minister and interacting with him on topics and discussions related to cinema. Is the gap between entertainment and politics bridging too for the better?
