'It was a great honour': Randeep Hooda after meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi

New Delhi: Actor Randeep Hooda says meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi was a "great honour and a privilege".

Hooda, who most recently starred in Jaat, shared a series of pictures alongside the prime minister on his Instagram handle. Hooda's mother, Asha Hooda and sister, Anjali Hooda, were also present.

"It was a great honour and a privilege to meet the Honourable Prime Minister of India, Shri @narendramodi ji. His insight, wisdom, and thoughts on the future of our great country are always so inspiring. His pat on the back is a great encouragement to keep doing good work in our respective fields and contributing to the growth of our nation," the 48-year-old actor wrote in the caption.

Hooda said the conversation with the prime minister revolved around "the global rise of Indian cinema and the power of authentic storytelling".

They also discussed about World Audio Visual and Entertainment Summit (WAVES), which is set to take place in Mumbai between May 1 and May 4.

"It was also a proud family moment to be joined by my mother, Asha Hooda and sister, Dr. Anjali Hooda, who also exchanged thoughts with the PM on his initiatives of anti obesity drive and holistic wellness," he concluded.

Hooda's latest film Jaat released on April 10 and also stars Sunny Deol, Vineet Kumar Singh and Saiyami Kher. Last week, the makers confirmed the second part of the film.
