From taking selfies to playing musical instruments, Narendra Modi has done it all

Not only did the Lok Sabha elections last year change the face of Indian politics in a really long time but it also saw the rise of a man from a humble background becoming the prime minister of the country.

When Narendra Modi became the prime minister of India, there was a ray of hope among many. Since then not only has he managed to connect with the people but also managed to leave a mark on several foreign leaders in different ways.

Be it playing drums in Japan or clicking selfies with the crowd and political leaders, Narendra Modi has done it all.

While he does come across as a serious PM that has not stopped him from showing us his creative and often funny side. We bring to you a few moments from the past one year where Narendra Modi was seen as the 'new-age leader'.

Modi as a selfie expert

While the younger generation is obesssed by the selfie craze, Narendra Modi too was bitten by the 'selfie bug' and now has turned out to be a selfie expert.

Modi never seems to miss a chance to click a selfie. Whether it is clicking selfies with children or the crowd Modi never hesitates from clicking a selfie and is seen obliging his supporters most of the times.
