"Jiski Reel Sabse Zyada Popular Hui": PM Narendra Modi Teases Navdeep Singh, Floors Everyone
India para-javelin thrower Navdeep Singh had the opportunity to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alongside other para-athletes after their return home from Paris Paralympic Games on Thursday. Navdeep, who won the gold medal in the javelin throw F41 category at the Paris Games, had a fun time interacting with PM Modi. The Indian prime minister even teased Navdeep when the latter introduced himself, saying he is the person whose reel went viral the most, alongside Sheetal Devi.
Navdeep, who won the gold medal after Iranian athlete's disqualification from the event, celebrated his throw at the javelin F41 final in epic style. It was the first time that Navdeep had hit a distance of 47 meters or more in an event. His celebration was understandably an emotional one, and it caught the eyes of many on social media.
