Glow secret
'Countrymen's love makes me glow,' says Modi
Responding to Deol's cheeky question, PM Modi said he doesn't think about skincare. However, when all-rounder Sneh Rana said it was the love of countrymen that makes him glow, PM Modi replied, "Of course it is. It is a huge source of strength." He added that despite spending so many years in government service, the blessings keep coming and have an effect on him eventually.
