Rajkummar, in a playful banter, joked that the Prime Minister had confessed that he was upset with Kapil. In response, Kapil said that it is a thing of the past. He also folded his hands and said “Modi sahab, sorry.” In 2016, Kapil had angrily tweeted that he had been asked to pay a Rs 5 lakh by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) as bribery, questioning Modi if this is what ‘achhe din’ means.
