A Kuwaiti singer, who attended Prime Minister Narendra Modi's address to the Indian diaspora at the ‘Hala Modi’ event on Saturday, has grabbed everyone's attention.

Kuwaiti singer Mubarak Al Rashed was heard singing ‘Saare Jahan Se Achha’ and ‘Vaishnaw Jan’ while speaking to ANI. Rashed said he will sing the song in front of Modi in the city.

On the first day of his visit on Saturday, PM Modi addressed the Indian diaspora at an event called ‘Hala Modi’ at the Sheikh Saad Al-Abdullah Indoor Sports Complex in the city. The last Indian prime minister to visit Kuwait was Indira Gandhi in 1981.
