Honestly, I'm surprised. Karan Johar praising an RSS event? The world is truly upside down. But good to know Bhagwat ji has a sense of humour, we often only see the serious side.

A 100-year journey for any organisation is commendable. Regardless of politics, their social work in education and disaster relief is well-known. Maybe the lecture focused on that aspect.

As an outsider following Indian news, this is fascinating. The RSS is often portrayed one-dimensionally in international media. Hearing about humour and inspiration from film personalities adds nuance.

Celebrities attending is one thing, but we must look beyond the glamour. What were the actual ideas discussed for India's future? That's what matters more than who was in the audience.

Wow, the star power! Salman, Akshay, Vicky, Karan... it's like a film award night. If it helps bridge gaps and promotes a positive dialogue in society, then why not? Jai Hind!
