Watch: PM Modi wins hearts as he sits on floor while Paralympic champion Navdeep Singh gifts him cap

India's Paralympics athlete Navdeep Singh, who won gold in the javelin throw final at the 2024 Paralympics, recently met Prime Minister Modi, shared a heartfelt moment together.

With a height of just 4 feet 4 inches, but still Navdeep Singh stood tall on the medal podium. After Paralympic triumph, gold medallist Navdeep Singh recently met Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who hosted all the Paralympic athletes at his residence on September 12. Navdeep Singh captured the spotlight with his cheerful nature. PM Modi even signed an autograph on the gold medalist’s throwing arm.

The heartfelt moment came when the Prime Minister sat on the floor and received a gift from this star as Navdeep placed a cap on his head. PM Modi humorously asked Navdeep if he felt taller now, saying, “Lag raha na tum mujhse bade ho na?” (Do you feel taller than me now?)
