This isn’t merely my belief, but one that my Sahib held close to his heart.

This was the cornerstone of his life and work, and it is a principle I cherish deeply.”

The post continued, “I am reminded of one of his unforgettable scenes in Leader opposite Vijayanthimala Akka, where he delivers a stirring dialogue about the strength of unity. With that quintessential conviction in his voice, Sahib said that equality forms the foundation of progress and that our collective power as a nation lies in standing together, uplifting one another, and treating each other with compassion and dignity.”
“He also believed these small acts of kindness could bridge even the greatest divides and create a world of togetherness. As we celebrate this Republic Day, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to every individual who dedicates their efforts to nurturing the spirit of humanity in our great nation. Let us remember that each of us plays a vital role in letting humanity prevail.”
Saira Banu concluded her post by urging everyone to honor the ideals that make India unique and incredible.
