Prime Minister Narendra Modi Saturday uploaded a three-minute video where he was seen walking bare feet and collecting waste at a beach in Mamallapuram, the venue of the informal talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The video garnered several views even as some people were curious about a stick-like object PM Modi was holding while he was plogging on the beach.

As a follow up to that, PM Modi on Sunday tweeted that the object was an acupressure roller. “It is an acupressure roller that I often use. I have found it to be very helpful,” PM Modi tweeted.
