In the podcast, Kamath expressed his nervousness in Hindi, saying, “I am sitting here in front of you and talking, I feel nervous. It’s a tough conversation for me.” The Prime Minister acknowledged with a smile, responding: “This is my first podcast, I don’t know how it’ll go with your audience.”
Discussing his early life, the Prime Minister revealed, “I used to wash the clothes of all my family members. Because of that, I was allowed to go to the pond..” He also recounted inviting his friends and teachers to the chief minister’s residence.
“When I became the chief minister, I wanted to invite my old friends to the CM house. I invited all of them, but I didn’t enjoy it because I was trying to find my friends in them, while they were seeing me as the CM,” the Prime Minister said.
During the conversation, the Prime Minister emphasised the importance of public service-oriented individuals joining politics, stating they should be driven by mission rather than personal ambition.
Although the Prime Minister regularly hosts ‘Mann Ki Baat’ and appears in television interviews, this marks his initial venture into podcasting.
