"We have come to thank God": Kangana Ranaut offers prayers as PM Modi's marks historic tenure
Jodhpur, June 12
Actor-politician Kangana Ranaut extended her well-wishes for Prime Minister Narendra Modi on achieving a "historic milestone" by surpassing the tenure of India's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru.
Speaking to the media, Kangana shared, "We have come to thank God for the record our leader has created, and we also pray for the long life of our Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and for his good health."
The actor, who arrived in Jodhpur on Thursday, offered prayers at the Ganesh temple for PM Modi.
Earlier, Kangana lauded the 12-year tenure of the central government, crediting Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership for India's robust economic trajectory.
She expressed confidence that under PM Modi's leadership, the nation is reaching new heights and will establish new milestones in development in the coming time. Kangana emphasised that government employees, officials, and party workers have played a crucial role in taking government schemes and achievements to the grassroots level.
Responding to a question, she said her sources of inspiration are the employees, officials, and 'Karmayogis' (dedicated workers) who are committed to serving the nation with complete integrity and devotion. She remarked that these individuals, who dedicate their all to the country, are the true "architects of India's destiny".
Ranaut's visit also centred on the promotion of her upcoming film, Bharat Bhagya Vidhata.
She expressed her gratitude to the residents of Jodhpur for hosting the film's grand premiere in their city and thanked actor John Abraham for his contribution to the film's title.
Headlined by Kangana, the film shifts the spotlight from celebrated heroes to nurses and ward boys who emerged as silent saviours during one of India's darkest chapters.
'Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata' is scheduled to release in theatres on June 12.

It's good to see actors appreciating the PM's work. But I wish she also talked about actual issues like inflation and farmers. Still, it's her opinion, and she's allowed to be happy about the record. All the best for her film too!
Interesting perspective from Kangana. While I respect her views, as someone who follows Indian politics from abroad, I wonder if comparing tenure lengths is really meaningful. What matters is economic growth and social harmony. But to each their own.
Modi ji has indeed done a lot for the country. But calling it a "historic milestone" because of tenure length? Nehru's era was different—India was just born. Let's focus on development, not just records. Still, good to see people supporting leaders.
I like how she mentioned nurses and ward boys in her film—they are true heroes. And her praise for Modiji is fine, but I wish politicians and actors would also acknowledge the hard work of opposition and critics who keep democracy strong.
Kangana is one of the few Bollywood stars who openly supports the government. Good for her! Let the critics cry. Modi has brought respect to India on the world stage. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳
