Prime Minister Narendra Modi is in Russia and held talks with President Vladimir Putin about nuclear power plants, terrorism, trade and investment. But it is NBC anchor Megyn Kelly's question to Modi that is creating a buzz on social media. Kelly, who is in St Petersburg, Russia to interview Putin, was at Konstantin Palace's state dinner party where she also met PM Modi. But her 'small talk' with the PM did not just seem awkward to many Twitter users, but also seemed 'badly researched'. When Modi, the second-most followed world leader on Twitter with over 30 million followers, referred to one of Kelly's tweets, she laughed and asked him "Oh, are you on Twitter?" Her question obviously triggered a lot of people on Twitter, many of them asking her to 'do homework'. Here is the video showing Kelly talking to the PM.
