Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Saturday meeting with Bollywood stars - to discuss initiatives to popularise Mahatma Gandhi's ideals - has not gone down well with the South folk. Telugu star Ram Charan's wife, Upasana Kamineni, has questioned why the PM ignored them.

She posted on social media, "With all due respect we felt that the representation of leading personalities and cultural icons was limited only to Hindi artistes and the South film industry was neglected. I express my feelings with pain and I hope it is taken in the right spirit (sic)."
