PM Modi breaks down as Zuckerberg asks about his mother

At his debut Townhall interaction at the Facebook Headquarters, Zuckerberg asks PM Modi about his mother.

Modi starts off his answer by saying, "I would really like to congratulate Mark's parents for giving birth to Mark, they have helped connect the world,"

Speaking of his mother, Modi then said, "I came from a very humble family. It's hard to imagine that a tea seller has become the leader of the world's greatest democracy. For that I would like to thank the country."

"My father is no longer with us. My mother is over 90 years old now. She does all her work herself. She is not educated, but through television she knows what is happening in the news," he said.

"When we were young, to get by, we used to go to our neighbours houses and clean the dishes, fill water," he admitted.

"So you can imagine what a mother has to do to raise her children," said an emotional Modi.

Mother and teacher are the two individuals who have the greatest impact on a person's life.

Displaying the importance of family values, Modi also met Zuckerberg’s parents ( in picture above).
