Cinema VinesOn Thursday, September 17, 2026, Bollywood’s biggest names turned their social‑media feeds into a chorus of birthday wishes for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who celebrated his 76th birthday that day. The messages, posted on X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook, ranged from heartfelt prayers for health and happiness to playful tributes that highlighted Modi’s public service record.
Shah Rukh Khan opened the flood of greetings with a post that read, “Wishing you good health and happiness for the coming years, Narendra Modi.” The film star’s tone was warm and respectful, focusing on the Prime Minister’s strength and positive energy. In the same breath, actor Salman Khan addressed Modi as “Narendra Bhai Modi,” adding a casual, brother‑like affection and concluding with a patriotic “Jai Hind.” These two messages were among the most widely shared on the day.
Actress‑MP Kangana Ranaut, who also represents the BJP in the Lok Sabha, joined the celebration by lighting the “Ashirwad Ka Diya” (lamp of blessings) in her tweet. She wished Modi “healthy, long‑lived, and energetic life” and paid homage to his 25‑year commitment to national service. Ranaut’s post encouraged fans to observe the “Seva Sankalp” (service pledge) campaign, urging everyone to help those in need and spread smiles.
Akshay Kumar’s message echoed a similar spirit of service, writing, “Today is our Prime Minister’s birthday, and we celebrate it with a pledge of service. I think there’s no better way to mark this day.” He urged fans to help others, to assist the needy, and to bring smiles to faces, framing the birthday as an opportunity for collective good.
Ajay Devgn also took to X, praising Modi’s dedication to the nation. He highlighted the Prime Minister’s tireless, selfless service and remarked that Modi’s commitment, especially to the “last person in the last row,” had moved him deeply. Devgn’s post was a reminder of Modi’s focus on the most marginalized segments of society.
Across the platform, the stars’ wishes were united by a common theme: celebrating Modi’s longevity, health, and unwavering service to India. Their messages, though varied in tone, underscored the respect and admiration Bollywood’s leading figures hold for the country’s longest‑serving prime minister.
