The car the two leaders were travelling in during Prime Minister's 2014 US visit was a stretch limousine.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi told Barack Obama in 2014 that the size of the then-US president's car was almost as big as the house his mother lived in, helping the two leaders with humble origins make a deeper connection, India's Ambassador to the United States Vinay Kwatra has said.
Mr Kwatra, a former foreign secretary, told 'Modi Story', a social media handle which chronicles anecdotal accounts related to the prime minister, that the heartfelt conversation between the two leaders occurred as they headed together for the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial after formal discussions.
As they sat together in Mr Obama's stretch limousine for the 10-12 minute drive, their conversation turned to family, he noted.
