Narendra Modi enjoys over 30 million followers on Twitter; however, a Russian reporter asked him such a question that was certainly not expected.
Megyn Kelly, the journalist of NBC i.e. National Broadcasting Company, asked Modi, “Are you on Twitter?”.
Well, Modi was in Russia to meet the Vladimir Putin; this US journalist met Modi at Konstatntin Palace’s state dinner party. What happened was that Modi praised Kelly for a photo that she had uploaded on Twitter; in that, she was seen posing with an umbrella. After getting this compliment, Kelly was confused as to how Modi saw the picture. She didn’t know about his Twitter account, and this is where the awkward question popped up.
Modi, who’s one of the most followed personalities on Twitter, couldn’t help but laugh on this question. Apart from that he also has a @PMOIndia page, wherein he enjoys around 18 million followers. We doubt if the journalist had any idea about that page, LOL!

However, Kelly was slammed on social media for asking such an absurd question. Check out some trolls;

This was definitely a very stupid question, don’t you think so? Guess journalists should do their research properly before interviewing big personalities. What do you have to say in this regard? Share your views in our comments section below.
