Prime Minister Narendra Modi met actors Ashok Pathak and Durgesh Kumar from the Amazon Prime Video series Panchayat at a recent media summit. Modi posted a video of the interaction on Instagram, set to the show’s popular theme song, and captioned it: “Binod se kuch baatein…” (A few moments with Binod). The clip quickly went viral on social media.
In the video, Modi shakes hands with Pathak, who plays Binod, and Kumar, who plays Bhushan in the series. Both actors responded warmly to the exchange. Taking to the comment section, Pathak wrote in Hindi: “Grateful for the love and blessings.”
Kumar, a graduate of the National School of Drama, first gained recognition with Imtiaz Ali’s Highway in 2014. He has since appeared in Bhakshak, Sultan, Sanju, and Dhadak. In Panchayat, he began as a supporting character before being elevated to the main cast from season three onwards. Pathak’s own credits include A Death in the Gunj (2016), Bittoo Boss (2012), Shanghai (2012), and 102 Not Out (2018), with Panchayat marking his breakthrough role.
