PM mentions Kenyan actress in speech, fans go berserk

PM Modi mentioned Lupita Nyong'o during an address at the University of Nairobi in front of Kenyan students. Modi struck the right chord when he said, "Kenya's environmental activist Wangari Maathai was the first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. She was a product of this university. Lupita Nyong'o, of Kenyan origin is the first African to win an Oscar. And no prizes for guessing that Kenyan runners dominate marathons around the world."

As expected, the audience could not stop cheering Modi. There's no denying the fact that Modi is taking inspiration from US President Barack Obama who created a stir when he quoted Shah Rukh Khan's 'Senorita' dialogue during his visit to India.
