We may offer the best advice to our parents, but unless it comes from someone they trust and follow, it often goes unheard. That’s exactly why creator Yuvraj Dua took to Instagram, asking PM Narendra Modi to urge his father to give up sweets and focus on his health. Surprisingly, the Prime Minister did respond and shared the creator’s request, and what happened next is just as unexpected.
Creator’s Father Gives Up Sugar After PM Backs Son’s Appeal

After Narendra Modi shared his son’s post on Instagram and encouraged him to give up sweets, Yuvraj Dua’s father also took up exercising. In his post, the Prime Minister reiterated the importance of healthy living, and it seems Bobby Dua has finally taken the advice to heart.
In a recent post that has once again gone viral, Yuvraj Dua’s father is seen turning down sweets like jalebi and kaju katli in favour of salad, and choosing nariyal pani over sugary sodas. He has also taken up exercising and jogging—and we’re loving the determination!
Towards the end of the video, Yuvraj and his sister Pari ask their father why he never followed their advice, pretty much what Narendra Modi asked him to do now. In response, Bobby Dua quips, “Main bolunga toh jaldi sooge? Virat Kohli bolega toh soge?” The siblings admit they would, prompting him to joke, “Toh tum Kohli paglu aur main Modi paglu!”

A few days ago, Yuvraj Dua shared a video that masked his concern for his father’s health with humour. In the clip, he joked about his father’s admiration for PM Modi, saying that if he spoke about cutting down on sugar on his radio programme Mann Ki Baat, his father might finally listen and reduce his sugar intake.
Cut to the PM actually sharing his reel on Instagram with a caption, “On Yuvraj’s request, I will urge his father (and everyone else out there) to reduce sugar intake… be healthy, be happy! Focus on your wellbeing. Eat Well. Eat Healthy. Excessive sugar invites a range of diseases. Then of course, there is the looming threat of obesity. Also, do make Yoga a part of your lives. It is a great way to remain fit and active.”
We have to give credit to PM Modi for using his influence in the right way. Here’s hoping Dua Senior continues these positive changes and stays committed to a healthier lifestyle.
