Watch: You Have A Hanuman Tattoo, ".. toh Hanuman ji aapki kya madad karte hain?", PM Modi’s Question To Deepti Sharma Goes Viral
Prime Minister’s light-hearted interaction with the World Cup-winning team sparks mixed reactions
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s meeting with India’s World Cup-winning women’s cricket team turned into a moment of national chatter after a clip featuring all-rounder Deepti Sharma went viral. During the informal interaction, PM Modi noticed the Hanuman tattoo on Deepti’s arm and asked her with a smile, “Aap tattoo lagake ghumti rehti hain… toh Hanuman ji aapki kya madad karte hain?”
Deepti, who was seated beside other teammates, responded with her usual calmness. PM Modi then added, still smiling, that she also had “Jai Shree Ram” written in her Instagram bio, and she acknowledged it. The exchange, meant to be light and personal, quickly spread across social media.
The moment triggered mixed reactions online. Many viewers found the clip warm and humanising, praising the cheerfulness between the Prime Minister and the players. Others questioned whether such remarks blur the line between sporting achievements and expressions of personal faith, pointing out that athletes are often drawn into broader conversations unrelated to the game.
Beyond the tattoo moment, the interaction featured several light-hearted exchanges. Batter Harleen Deol amused everyone when she asked PM Modi about his skincare routine, drawing laughter from the room. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur recalled earlier meetings with the Prime Minister and said presenting the World Cup trophy to him was a proud moment for the team.
Every Indian feels immense pride in Team India’s World Cup victory. It was a delight interacting with the women’s cricket team. Do watch! https://t.co/PkkfKFBNbb

PM Modi praised the players, head coach Amol Muzumdar and BCCI president Mithun Manhas, highlighting the team’s discipline, teamwork and resilience throughout the tournament. He congratulated them not only for the title but for inspiring young girls across the country.
While the viral clip focused on Deepti Sharma’s devotion and humility, it also reignited discussions about the role of symbolism, identity and personal beliefs in India’s sporting narratives. For many fans, however, the moment was simply a glimpse into the relaxed and celebratory atmosphere as the team enjoyed recognition for their historic win.
