While giving his speech addressing the film fraternity, Prime Minister Narendra Modi drew reference from Vicky Kaushal's latest film 'Uri: The Surgical Strike as he quoted the iconic slogan, 'How's the Josh?' The country chief's move was cheered with a huge round of applause by the audience as they can be heard replying to it saying "High Sir!"
Meanwhile, ace-comedian Kapil Sharma is back with a bang after a much-needed hiatus as he kick-started the new year with 'The Kapil Sharma Show', that has made it to the top already as far as TRP's are concerned. The second season of the show opened with a TRP of 3.4 and raked in 3.2 over the weekend, with 'Super Dancer' following in. On the personal front, Kapil Sharma tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend Ginni Chatrath in Jalandhar on December 12, last year.
