New Delhi: US President Barack Obama has left everyone mighty impressed with his speech during the town hall meet at the Siri Fort auditorium.
Not only did he quote Bollywood's most loved superstar Shah Rukh Khan in his speech while addressing the youth in the auditorium, he also lauded Milkha Singh, Mary Kom, Kailash Satyarthi who are popular back in US.
He also hailed his wife Michelle, whom he appreciated for being a strong woman. That just won many hearts.
While the entire nation was engaged to the TV sets listening to his speech, our desi celebs too were highly impressed with Obama. A number of stars took to Twitter to thank him for his inspiring words.
Mr President @BarackObama - your speech was truly inspiring.
