n a freewheeling interview released on Wednesday, actor Akshay Kumar spoke with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and talked about everything but politics. Modi and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee may be bitter rivals on the political turf but the prime minister told Akshay Kumar they share a good relation off it. “Despite all the rivalry, didi personally selects and sends me kurtas every year. She also sends me sweets as she knows I am fond of Bengali sweets,” the PM told the actor during the interview. PM Modi also revealed one advice former US president Barack Obama gave him - "When I met President Obama … he asked me I don’t sleep… And whenever I meet him he asks whether I am sleeping longer. But my body cycle is such that I don’t sleep longer than three to four hours.”
