Aishwarya Rai created a buzz at the Sathya Sai Baba centenary event with her moving speech on humanity and her gesture of touching PM Modi’s feet, sparking emotional reactions among fans.
Actor Aishwarya Rai Bachchan made a memorable appearance at the 100th birth anniversary celebrations of Sri Sathya Sai Baba in Puttaparthi, where she delivered a heartfelt address centred on unity, compassion and human values. The moment that truly became the talking point of the day, however, was when she walked over to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and touched his feet after her speech—an image that quickly captured widespread attention.
Aishwarya Rai’s message of oneness
Sharing the dais with several distinguished guests, including PM Modi and cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, Aishwarya spoke with deep emotion as she reflected on universal harmony. She underscored her belief in equality, urging people to rise above caste and religious divides.
“There is only one caste, the caste of humanity. There is only one religion, the religion of love. There is only one language, the language of the heart, and there is only one God, and he is omnipresent,” Aishwarya said.
Addressing the Prime Minister directly during her speech, she added, “I extend a heartfelt thank you to our honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji for being here with us today and for honouring this special occasion. I am looking forward to listening to your wise words, impactful and inspiring as always, to enthral us today.”
