During a Mann Ki Baat address last year in September, PM Modi said, "Indian culture and Indian music are now global. More and more people worldwide are getting attracted to them", and also played an Indian song sung by Mae.

"Such a melodious voice...and every word reflects emotions. We can also feel her attachment to God. You would be surprised to know that this voice is of a daughter from Germany," PM Modi said after the song presentation.

"Her name is CassMae. 21-year-old CassMae on Instagram is quite famous these days. German national CassMae has never visited India. But, she is extremely fond of Indian music," he had added.
