New Delhi: In a "candid and completely non-political" conversation with Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said he never thought of becoming Prime Minister because there was nothing in his background that could make him think like that. Common people do not believe in such things, he said adding that thoughts (like being the Prime Minister one day) could only come to those who belong to a particular family with backgrounds.

"But my family background is one like if I would have got a good job, my mother would have distributed jaggery to the neighbours because we never thought beyond that. We never saw anything outside our village. This journey just started and the country accepted me. Responsibilities also came to me automatically. As per my personal view, becoming Prime Minister is unnatural because my life and world does not fit in the current political atmosphere."
