He said that he has more fans and supporters in India than in France. At the same time, he also mentioned the great Swiss tennis player Roger Federer.
Talking about the relations between India and France, Prime Minister Modi talked about French star footballer Mbappé. He said, “Come and see the fame of the French football player in India. He is a superhit among the youth of India, more than the number of fans of Killian Embappe will not be in France.
Embappe has won the World Cup
Kylian Mbappé is the best young footballer in the world. He was a member of the team that won the World Cup in 2018. Apart from this, the team reached the final of the 2022 World Cup during his stay. There he had to face defeat against Lionel Messi’s team Argentina. Embappé scored three goals in that match. However, he could not win the team.

Wimbledon called Federer ‘Thalaiva’
Roger Federer, the uncrowned king of tennis, also reached the opening ceremony of Wimbledon. A tweet made for him by Wimbledon became quite viral. Federer was honored for his contribution to Wimbledon. During this, he got a standing ovation of about two minutes. Federer was accompanied by his wife Mirka. After this Wimbledon shared Federer’s picture and wrote – Thalaiva. This word is used by Rajinikanth’s fans in India.
Rajinikanth is fondly called ‘Thalaiva’ by the people of Tamil Nadu. It is derived from ‘Thalaivar’, which means, ‘leader or boss.’ Talking about languages, Prime Minister Modi said that Tamil is the oldest language in the world. A few days ago, tennis legend Roger Fazer was called ‘Thalaiva’ by Wimbledon.
