The 'real' story behind Barack Obama's DDLJ quote

Barack Obama, his speech writers and spin doctors have had some tough decisions to make these past few days.

They watched films upon films from Bollywood and brainstormed whether 'Barack Obama, naam to suna hi hoga' sounded better than 'Ek baar jo maine commitment kardi to main Pakistan ki bhi nahin sunta'.

They spent sleepless nights, googled the best punchlines in Hindi cinema and, unsatisfied with the answers, googled them again.

They had a tough call to make after all. Narendra Modi threw the gauntlet at POTUS when at Madison Square Garden, with Hugh 'Wolverine' Jackman by his side; he said the most epic line of them all, "May the force be with you".
