According to the report, PM Modi met Shaikha AJ Al-Sabah, an avid yoga practitioner and founder of the first licensed yoga studio Daratma in Kuwait, when he was on a two-day visit to the Gulf nation.
DD News also shared the video of the meeting with a title, “India’s PM Narendra Modi interacts with prominent Kuwaiti influencers.”
