“The positivity and mutual respect in the air was like a loving embrace… May France and India forever prosper together,” the actor-filmmaker wrote alongside a series of photographs from the banquet dinner.
Madhavan further shared how Macron offered to take a selfie with Modi and him.
“I sincerely pray that their vision and dreams bear fruit for all of us at the desired and appropriate time. President Macron eagerly took a selfie for us while our Honorable Prime Minister very graciously and sweetly stood up to be part of it.. a moment that will be forever etched in my mind for both the uniqueness and impact of that picture,” the 53-year-old added in his post.
The actor, who directed Rocketry: The Nambi Effect, also wished the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) for the successful third edition of India’s moon mission, Chandrayaan-3.
Launched on Friday, Chandrayaan-3 mission follows the Chandrayaan-2 which is aimed at mastering the soft landing on the surface of the moon. A successful landing on the lunar surface would make India only the fourth country to achieve the feat after the United States, China, and the former Soviet Union.
