The 100th birth anniversary celebrations of Sri Sathya Sai Baba drew prominent personalities from across the country on Wednesday, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, and several celebrities gracing the grand event. Among them, actor Aishwarya Rai Bachchan captured public attention not only with her address but also with a gesture that has since taken social media by storm.

A widely shared video shows Aishwarya touching Prime Minister Modi’s feet, a moment that has sparked extensive reactions online, with many praising her humility and respect. Her appearance at the ceremony, alongside cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar, added further star power to the centenary celebration held in Puttaparthi, the birthplace of the revered spiritual leader.

A Message Rooted in Unity and Compassion

During her speech, Aishwarya echoed Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s lifelong emphasis on universal love and service. In a message that drew loud applause from attendees, she said:

“As we celebrate the centenary of Sri Sathya Sai Baba, let us all rededicate ourselves to his divine message. Love everyone, serve everyone. There is only one caste, the caste of humanity; one religion, the religion of love; one language, the language of the heart; and one God, omnipresent. Sai Ram. Jai Hind.”

The actor also expressed her gratitude to Prime Minister Modi for attending the celebration, saying his presence reflected a shared commitment to Sai Baba’s values.

“I heartily thank Prime Minister Narendra Modi for being here today and honouring this special occasion. Swamiji taught us that service to humanity is service to God. He guided us with five principles: discipline, dedication, devotion, determination, and prudence.”

A Lifelong Devotee

Aishwarya’s connection with Sri Sathya Sai Baba goes back to her childhood.
