"Sugar intake kam karein": Yuvraj Dua's viral appeal for his 'Modi-Paglu Papa' gets response from PM Modi in Mann Ki Baat

PM Modi addresses a viral request from creator Yuvraj Dua, urging Indians to reduce sugar intake in his latest Mann Ki Baat episode.

"Main aap sabhi se bhi anurodh karta hoon ki aap apna sugar intake kam karein. - PM Narendra Modi"

New Delhi, March 29

Yuvraj Dua's viral request to PM Narendra Modi to address sugar consumption in 'Mann Ki Baat' has now received a response in the latest episode.

The content creator had earlier shared a light-hearted video on social media, urging the Prime Minister to speak about reducing sugar intake, pointing out that many Indian parents closely follow his advice. In a playful remark, he added that if PM Modi spoke against sugar in Mann Ki Baat, his father would surely listen.

The relatable video quickly went viral, striking a chord with many online.

In the 132nd episode of 'Mann Ki Baat', PM Modi acknowledged the request and spoke about the importance of "cutting down on sugar." He also noted that several people had reacted to his earlier reply to Dua on Instagram.

For context, the Prime Minister had responded to Dua's post on Instagram earlier, encouraging people to stay healthy and adopt small lifestyle changes, including reducing sugar intake. Soon after PM Modi's Instagram Story, Yuvraj Dua's father also took up exercising.

While addressing Mann Ki Baat, PM Modi said, "Kai logon ne Instagram content creator Yuvraj Dua ki post par mere reply ko lekar comments kiye hain. Unhone mujhse anurodh kiya tha ki main unke pita se kahun ki ve apna sugar intake kam karein."

He added that his message had a "positive impact" on Dua's father and used the moment to make a broader appeal: "Mujhe khushi hai ki mere anurodh ka unke pita par sakaratmak prabhav pada hai. Main aap sabhi se bhi anurodh karta hoon ki aap apna sugar intake kam karein."

Mann Ki Baat is a radio programme through which the Prime Minister connects with people across the country, often addressing social issues and sharing messages related to health, awareness, and everyday life.

While it's a positive message, I hope the focus on individual health doesn't overshadow the need for systemic changes. The government should also regulate the food industry and the amount of sugar in packaged drinks and snacks. That would have a bigger impact.

Haha, "Modi-Paglu Papa" is such a classic Indian dad thing! My father is the same - won't listen to doctors but will follow every word from the PM. Glad Modiji used his platform for this. Diabetes is a silent epidemic in India. Jai Hind!

It's fascinating to see how social media can create this direct bridge between a citizen's personal concern and a national leader's address. Well done, Yuvraj Dua, for using your platform cleverly and for a good cause.

This is the power of Mann Ki Baat. It feels personal. My mother immediately decided to reduce chai sugar after listening. Sometimes, a nudge from a respected figure works better than a lecture from family. More such health tips please!

A sweet story with a serious message. Literally! We need to cut down on mithai and sugary drinks, especially during festivals. Hope this starts a conversation in every household. Health is wealth, as they say.
