PM Modi in Israel: Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent meeting with the team of Netflix’s hit thriller Fauda has created a buzz far beyond diplomatic circles. During his two-day state visit to Israel, PM Modi took a cheerful selfie with the cast and creators of the globally acclaimed series, and the internet couldn’t get enough of it.

Among those present was Lior Raz, co-creator and lead star of Fuda along with Avi Issacharoff and Tsahi Halevi. The photograph, shared by the Prime Minister on social media, quickly went viral. Adding his trademark wit, PM Modi captioned the image, “Thankfully, this interaction required only a selfie, no undercover work! #Fauda.”

The crossover moment struck a chord, especially in India, where the Israeli political thriller enjoys a loyal fan base. The series, known for its gripping storytelling and intense action sequences, has built a strong viewership on Netflix in the country.

What did Lior Raz say about PM Modi?

Speaking to the media after the interaction, Lior Raz described the meeting as deeply meaningful. “It was amazing and it was a huge honour to meet the Prime Minister of India. Such a huge country and we know that we have a lot of audience in India for our shows. To get this honour from your Prime Minister, for us, it is great to see how he supports acting, producing and art in your country,” he said.
