During a Q&A session last year at the Facebook headquarters with Mark Zuckerberg, Modi nearly brought himself to tears when describing his childhood growing up alongside his mother.
“When we were small, what we used to do to get by,” Modi said, before a long pause, “We used to go to our neighbors’ houses nearby, we used to clean the dishes, fill water.”
“So you can imagine what a mother had to do, what a mother had to do to raise her children, what she must have gone through,” he said. “It is not what you become that a mother is going to want or wish for, it’s how you become that.”
