Social media personality Orry posted a heartfelt birthday tribute to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 18 September 2026, marking the PM's 76th birthday with a video message and a detailed note on Instagram that traced Modi's journey from a tea stall in Vadnagar, Gujarat to the highest office in the world's most populous democracy.

What Orry Said in the Video

Dressed in ethnic wear and speaking in Hindi, Orry addressed Modi directly in his video: 'Respected Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji, warm birthday wishes to you. May God bless you with a long life, and may your life be filled with health, happiness, and fame. May all your resolutions be fulfilled, therefore today I take the oath of national service and to ensure your efforts are successful, I will keep lighting a lamp before the Lord.'

He added: 'The pride of India may always be a source of inspiration for you, with your energy, dedication, and commitment. May God bless you with patience, excellent health, and boundless energy. Warm birthday wishes, Modi ji. You are appreciated and revered.'

The Instagram Caption: A Decade in Review

Orry accompanied the video with a lengthy written note, offering a biographical sketch of the PM. He wrote: 'To understand modern India, you need to know the man who has led its government for more than a decade. Born in 1950, just 3 years after India gained independence, into a family of modest means in the small town of Vadnagar, Gujarat, working at his family's tea stall, he grew up to become Prime Minister of the world's most populous country and one of its largest economies.'

He traced Modi's political ascent through the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), noting that he became Chief Minister of Gujarat in 2001, a post he held for nearly 13 years, before going on to lead the Centre from May 2014 — currently serving an 'uncommon third consecutive term' after the elections of 2019 and 2024.

Digital India and Infrastructure in Focus

Orry credited Modi's tenure with transformative programmes including Swachh Bharat, Jan Dhan Yojana, Digital India, and Make in India. He also highlighted the UPI payment revolution and expanding infrastructure — railways, airports, highways, and metro networks, singling out Vande Bharat as a personal favourite. 'He has sought to position India as a country that doesn't simply participate in the future, but helps build it,' Orry wrote.

He acknowledged the contested nature of Modi's legacy: 'His leadership is intensely debated, like any powerful and long-serving democratic leader.' He closed with a now-viral postscript: 'P.S. He also made yoga cool again.'

Broader Birthday Celebrations

Prime Minister Modi's 76th birthday was marked by wishes from across the Indian film industry and public life. Supporters and organisations held community service events and welfare activities, a pattern that has come to characterise the PM's birthday in recent years. Modi has served as Prime Minister since May 2014, making this milestone part of what is now over a decade of continuous governance.
