Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ongoing US tour is raising eyeballs due to various reasons. The US President held a state reception for him and Joe Biden couple gave a warm welcome. The White House held a state reception for only two leaders after Joe Biden became the US President and Narendra Modi is the third person to get the honour.
Narendra Modi’s state visit was concluded and a grand event was held. The event grabbed everyone’s attention as it tells how much respect Modi has. A popular singer took the blessings of the Indian Prime Minister in Indian tradition.
Touching the feet of elderly people to seek blessings is not new to Indians as we grew up watching this. Award-winning American singer Mary Millben touched the feet of Narendra Modi and took his blessings. The pictures of the singer touching Modi’s feet became viral.
At the event held by the United States Indian Community Foundation (USICF), American singer Mary Millben performed the Indian national anthem, Jana Gana Mana. She expressed her happiness about this and said that she is feeling honoured to sing the national anthem for Narendra Modi.
Mary Millben became popular in India with renditions of the National Anthem and devotional song “Om Jai Jagdish Hare”. Now she became a big sensation in India after the picture of her touching Modi’s feet went viral.
Taking to social media, the singer said that she will treasure the night forever and thanked Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his warmth and kindness.
“A night I will treasure forever. Thank you Prime Minister @narendramodi for your kindness and warmth. An honor to sing for you. Thank you @DDNewslive for airing. India and Indian communities across the world, I love you! God bless the #USIndia alliance. #ModiInUS #PMModiUSVisit,”Mary Millben said.
