Mumbai: Bollywood celebrities like Anupam Kher, Shahid Kapoor, Anurag Kashyap and others took to reflect upon economic package announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday.
Modi announced an economic package, which, along with previous packages, will amount to a whopping Rs 20 lakh crore to not just pull India out of the economic slump, but also make it self-reliant.
Veteran actor Anupam Kher shared his thoughts about PM's announcement and said that "when India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi talks, not only the country but the entire world listens and gets inspired". He also said that if all 1.30 billion Indians follow the self-reliance module, then we will definitely have success.
