Among those present at the meeting were Sonam, Kangana, Hirani, filmmakers Rajkumar Santoshi, Ashwini Iyer Tiwari, Anurag Basu, Nitesh Tiwari and producers Ekta Kapoor, Boney Kapoor and Jayantilal Gada. After the interaction with the prime minister, the celebrities shared their experiences from the meeting on social media.

"I feel we need to re-introduce Gandhi ji to India and the world. The film industry can get self-obsessed and it is important we create work that sends out messages. It should not always be about business but in an engaging and entertaining manner, everyone should be involved," Shah Rukh told Press Trust of India.

Aamir said, "It was a really wonderful interaction we had with the Prime Minister today. He was very inspiring, very warm and very deep in what he had to say.

Kangana, in a video, was of the view, "This is the first government and probably the first Prime Minister, who is so inclusive of the art and artists."
