While the sentiment is good, I wish he'd also talk about practical steps we can take as citizens beyond just prayer. Charity, community service, and being informed voters are also ways to build a safer nation.
True Indian at heart. From his movies to his words, he always shows his love for the country. The world is indeed in a bad shape, we should all pray for peace. Jai Hind!
My nani always says a prayer for the entire family before sleeping. It's a beautiful Indian tradition that brings a sense of security. Glad to see it being highlighted.
Interesting perspective. In the West, celebrities rarely speak like this on mainstream TV. The focus on family and country's safety feels very rooted and communal. Respect.
Bhai sahab is right. With so much negativity on news channels, a simple message of hope and prayer is refreshing. Also, excited for Bhoot Bangla! Priyadarshan and Akshay combo is legendary.
