On Friday (June 23), popular American singer Mary Millben took everyone by surprise after she touched the feet of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, following her performance at the Ronald Reagan Center in Washington DC.

Mary Millben sang India’s national anthem in the presence of PM Modi and the Indian diaspora. Thereafter, she greeted the Indian Prime Minister with a ‘Namaste’ and went on to touch his feet out of respect.

Amidst chants of ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’, the duo also exchanged a few words on the stage. The event was hosted by the United States Indian Community Foundation (USICF) during which PM Modi delivered his goodbye speech to the Indian diaspora.
