'Feel like I'm watching a date': Twitter reacts to PM Modi's interview with Arnab Goswami

Arnab Goswami’s interview with Prime Minister Narendra Modi can be described in one sentence—an interview where the interviewer becomes the news and not the interviwee. On Twitter, #PMSpeakstoArnab and #ArnabGoswami were both trending topics as several people lampooned the interview. [caption id=“attachment_2858972” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]  Image courtesy: Youtube screengrab[/caption] It was also criticised for not being real and some even suspected that it as a scripted one. What seems to have struck the viewers is the surprising change in Arnab’s style as he asked questions in a friendly tone, listening intently to the Prime Minister, without interrupting him even once. Here are a few reactions on the Twitter:
