Reportedly Aishwarya met the then Prime Minister in 2000. From the pictures, we can say that the late Prime Minister was a very lively man known for his great sense of humour.

Even Amitabh Bachchan paid his tribute to the celebrated leader by posting, “Atal Bihari Vajpai (1924 – 2018 ) भावपूर्ण श्रधांजलि ; एक महान नेता , प्रख्यात कवि , अद्भुत वक्ता व प्रवक्ता , मिलनसार व्यक्तित्व । बाबूजी के प्रशंसक , और बाबूजी उनके .. An admirer of my Father’s works and vice versa ; gentle nature, strong fiery in his speeches”
