PM Modi's 'young friend' who caught nation's attention; Instagram post earns two million likes

On Saturday evening, Prime Minister Narendra Modi posted a photo on his Instagram page with the caption "With a young friend who came to 7, Lok Kalyan Marg yesterday." In no time, the post garnered massive attention with the likes crossing over a gargantuan two million. The nation came searching for the ‘young friend’ PM Modi mentioned in the photo.

Krishnakumar, the popular actor and BJP leader from Kerala, had visited PM Modi at the latter’s residence on Saturday. Krishnakumar was accompanied by his family. Among them was Neeom Aswin Krishna, or "Omy, the grandson of the BJP leader and the son of popular social media influencer Diya Krishna.

Diya:

Biggest Fan Moment!! Still waiting for someone to wake me up from an hour well spent with our Beloved Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modiji today, a day my family and I will never forget."

Though Krishnakumar and his family shared the photos with the Prime Minister on social media, they were taken aback on late Saturday evening knowing that the Prime Minister’s official handle shared the photo with Omy. It is unusual for PM Modi to share casual posts on his Instagram page, but the photo with Omy was too cute to be ignored, it seems.
