It would not be wrong to say that the ultimate selfie of the year 2019 is perhaps the one with several top Bollywood celebrities posing with the honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi. For the uninitiated, a delegation of young Hindi film actors and filmmakers were invited to meet the PM on Thursday in New Delhi to discuss how the entertainment industry can contribute to nation building.

The 'Prime Minister's Squad' included Ranveer Singh, Ranbir Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt, Ekta Kapoor, Sidharth Malhotra, Ayushmann Khurrana, Rajkummar Rao, Vicky Kaushal and directors Rohit Shetty, Karan Johar, and Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari.
Post the meeting was concluded, the celebs posted pictures with the PM and thanked him for his time and support to the film fraternity. Karan thanked the government for the GST reduction in movie ticket prices and the "incredible exchange of thoughts and ideas with the forces of the film fraternity."

Rohit, who seemed to be thrilled about the meeting, revealed that the Prime Minister himself appreciated him for making films on the Police Force.

Apart from them, Ekta, Sidharth, Ayushmann, Bhumi and Ashwiny shared pictures from their meeting with PM Modi as well. As expected, all of them thanked the government on behalf of the film industry.

While their past meetings drew ire for zero women representation, this time Alia, Ekta, Ashwiny and Bhumi lent the woman power.
