The posts, often humorous and lighthearted, aim to showcase Modi's more relatable side, but some have raised concerns about the blurring of lines between politics and personal life. As Modi reaches out to Gen Z through these short, bite-sized videos, it remains to be seen whether this unorthodox approach will help bridge the gap between the government and India's young, tech-savvy population.
