Early Life:

  Modi ji's childhood was full of difficulties. In the early days Modi along with his father sold tea at the railway station in Vadnagar and later along with his brother set up a tea stall at a bus stand. Modi was very interested in theater and debate since his early days. Debate and rhetoric were received by Modi as a gift. Modi chose to play the biggest characters in theatrical productions, which has influenced his political image.

  At the age of eight, Modi discovered the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and began participating in its training sessions. There, Modi met Laxmanrao Inamdar, who joined him in the RSS as a balsavemsevak (junior cadet) and became his political mentor. While Modi was training with the RSS, he also met Vasant Gajendragarh and Nathal Jagdha, leaders of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, who were members of the BJP's Gujarat unit in 1980.

In April 2014, immediately before the national elections, which brought him to power, Modi publicly confirmed that he was married and had a wife, Jashodaben.
