US Vice President JD Vance, currently on a four-day visit to India, appreciated Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his hospitality. Speaking at an event in Jaipur, Vance shared a heartwarming moment about his seven-year-old son, Ewan, who, after meeting PM Modi, said he could imagine living in India."Yesterday, we had dinner at the Prime Minister’s residence.
The food was incredible, and his kindness towards our kids was something we’ll never forget," Vance said during his address at the Rajasthan International Centre. “After the dinner, my son came to me and said, ‘Dad, I think I can live in India’.”However, the Jaipur sun had its say.
After exploring Amber Fort, Ewan apparently had a change of heart and jokingly suggested a move to England instead. “You take the good with the bad,” Vance laughed. Vance, recalling a memorable gesture from the PM, called him a "special person.
" He shared that PM Modi surprised his younger son, Vivek, with a birthday gift during a previous meeting in Paris.
