Kapil Sharma is clearly on cloud nine today after his brief meeting with former Prime Minister of India, Dr Manmohan Singh. The comedian who was recently in Delhi to host his third wedding reception had an opportunity to meet this famous Congress party leader and that's a huge feat. Kapil met the former PM and his wife at their residence in the capital and took to his Twitter account to share a few clicks from the same meeting. While Bollywood is currently busy meeting Prime Minister, Narendra Modi and having interactions revolving the film industry, Kapil decided to go otherwise. Kapil Sharma – Ginni Chatrath Delhi Reception: Sohail Khan Says Some Great Things About Kapil at His Reception!

Thank you respected @_ManmohanSingh ji for the warmth, hospitality and a heart to heart conversation about our Amritsari roots,especially about our college and food.

Kapil Sharma's conversation with the former Prime Minister wasn't restricted to the entertainment industry. They instead discussed the common factor and their roots from they belonged. Recently we had a chance to witness his real life in reel life when Anupam Kher played his iconic character in The Accidental Prime Minister. While the movie didn't fare well at the box office, we're glad Kapil had an opportunity to meet him personally.
