The upcoming episode will mark PM Modi’s podcast debut. Although he is well-known for hosting Mann Ki Baa, this will be his first appearance in the podcast format.
In the video, a nervous Kamath asks the PM to forgive him for his Hindi. He says “To Sir Mujhe Maaf Kijiye Agar Meri Hindi Zyada Achi Nahi Ho”. Modi replies to this saying “Hum Dono Ki Aise Hi Chalegi”.
In the teaser, PM Modi can be seen reflecting on his past speeches during his tenure as Chief Minister, acknowledging, “I said something in an insensitive way. Mistakes happen. I am human, not a God,” showing a moment of self-reflection.
The two also discussed the Prime Minister’s leadership through two consecutive terms in office. Kamath, sharing his personal experience, said, “Growing up in a South Indian middle-class home, we were always told that politics is a dirty game. This belief is so ingrained in our psyche that it’s almost impossible to change. What is your one piece of advice for people who think the same?”
PM Modi responded thoughtfully, “If you believed in what you said, we would not be having this conversation.”
Notably, PM Narendra Modi has also shared the trailer on his official X handle.
