Key Takeaways
Prime Minister Narendra Modi turned 76 on 17 September 2026, with a wave of birthday tributes pouring in from Bollywood, including heartfelt posts from actor Ajay Devgn, actor Anil Kapoor, producer Boney Kapoor, and actor Tiger Shroff. Several celebrities took to social media, particularly X (formerly Twitter), to mark the occasion with personal messages and calls for public service.
Ajay Devgn's Tribute
Ajay Devgn posted on X, writing: 'Happy Birthday, @narendramodi ji! Watching you serve this nation, year after year, tirelessly and selflessly, is a reminder of what true seva looks like. Your commitment to the people of India, especially the last person in the last row, has always moved me deeply. On your birthday, I pray for your continued good health and strength, so that your journey of service to Bharat continues for many more years to come. Jai Hind.'
The message underscored a recurring theme across celebrity posts — framing Modi's tenure as one of personal sacrifice and grassroots commitment.
Anil Kapoor and Boney Kapoor Mark the Occasion
Anil Kapoor shared two photographs from a personal meeting with the Prime Minister alongside his birthday message, writing: 'Wishing our Hon'ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi ji, a very happy birthday. Here's to good health, strength and another year of dedicated service to the nation.'
His elder brother Boney Kapoor extended the sentiment further, invoking the theme of Seva ka Sankalp — a resolve for service. He wrote: 'On this special occasion, let us take a collective Seva ka Sankalp, a resolve to bring more kindness, more compassion, and more humanity into our everyday lives. Let us serve others with humility, care for those in need, lend a helping hand without expectation, and strive to make a positive difference in the lives around us.'
Tiger Shroff Joins the #SevaKaSankalp Movement
Tiger Shroff connected his message to the broader campaign, posting: 'What a beautiful celebration. Honoured to be a part of #SevaKaSankalp on the birthday of our Hon. PM @narendramodi ji. May we all take a step towards serving more, giving more and making a difference in the lives of those around us. Jai Hind.'
The hashtag #SevaKaSankalp appeared across multiple celebrity posts, suggesting a coordinated public outreach initiative aligned with Modi's birthday celebrations.
Modi at 76: A Leadership Milestone
Prime Minister Modi has served as India's head of government since May 2014, making this his 12th birthday in office. His tenure has been marked by flagship programmes including Digital India, Make in India, Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, and large-scale infrastructure expansion. Birthday celebrations are typically accompanied by welfare drives and community service events organised by supporters and allied organisations across the country.
This year's celebrations carried a notably unified message from the film fraternity, with the service-and-nation theme dominating posts from multiple prominent names — a pattern that has grown more pronounced in recent years as Bollywood's political engagements have become more visible.
