All the celebrities in the event were seen clicking selfies with Prime Minister Modi. However, Bollywood’s popular director and writer Imtiaz Ali who was present at the event couldn't take a selfie but took an interesting photo and shared on his Instagram handle with an even quirky caption.
Ali shared the photo on his Twitter account, where he can be seen striking a pose for a selfie with Kartik Aaryan, Karan Johar, and posted it with the caption 'Losers’ backfie with the honorable PM!'
But in a few hours, Modi replied to Ali's tweet saying, “Not losers but Rockstars! No selfie Jab We Met but there will always be another occasion. :)”
The tweet went viral and received many comments from netizens.
