The veteran also thanked the prime minister for inquiring about his health a few days ago. “A few days ago, when I was a little unwell, you personally called and encouraged me, saying, ‘Dharmendra, stay strong.’ Your words gave me tremendous courage and energy. I was overjoyed that our Prime Minister reached out personally to wish me and inquire about my health. It felt like your care and love were truly with me,” he said.

Jeetendra said PM Modi’s greatest quality is his ability to make people feel at ease, adding that one can share anything with him and that he never forgets anyone he meets. “His memory is incredible. I would say, even in a household of six, it’s hard to keep everyone happy, but thinking about the welfare of 140 crore people and leading them together is truly remarkable. When he receives a standing ovation in the US Parliament, it is for the people of India. He has done a great job, and I pray for his good health, long life, and continued efforts to take the country forward,” he said.

Shah Rukh described PM Modi’s journey from “a small city to the global stage” as deeply inspiring. “In this journey, your discipline, hard work, and dedication to the nation are clearly visible. The truth is, sir, at the age of 75, your pace and energy even surpass that of young people like us. So I pray that you always remain healthy, fit, and happy,” Shah Rukh said.

Asha Bhosle lauded the prime minister for his discipline and healthy lifestyle. “Managing our own household is difficult for us, and yet he is managing such a vast country, India. He has so much discipline—he wakes up at 4 am, practices yoga. I have never heard him speak badly about anyone. I feel he is a very kind-hearted person. When I listen to his speeches, he always makes people laugh, recites poetry, jokes around, and even when others are upset, he keeps smiling. This is truly remarkable. May God bless him with a long life and may he always remain with us like this,” she added.

Aamir also wished the prime minister and said, “Your contributions towards the development of India will always be remembered. On this joyous occasion, we pray for your long life and also that you continue to take the country on the path of progress.” Alia said, “May your leadership continue to shape the future of our great nation and lead us to even more progress. May your health, strength, and success always remain steadfast.”
