Indian-origin young artist Aahdvik, from Toronto, made a heartwarming tribute to PM Modi as the PM began his three‑nation visit. The Consulate General of India in Toronto shared a video showcasing Aahdvik and his parents Niharika (Mother) from Lucknow and Shashank (Father) from Varanasi, greeting the PM with “Namaste.” Aahdvik holds up a pencil sketch of the Prime Minister, addressed affectionately by his mother as “Priya Pradhan Mantri.” Modi departed Cyprus earlier today and arrives in Canada for the G7 outreach session, aiming to deepen ties in trade, investment, security, technology, and people‑to‑people exchanges. The family’s gesture highlights diaspora enthusiasm as Modi embarks on the Canada leg of his tour.
