The entire country came together to honour Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership on September 17, 2025, his 75th birthday. PM Modi's impact is still felt well beyond politics, as evidenced by the public's large-scale displays of admiration and the sincere well-wishes of Bollywood celebrities.
Over the years, many have sent their warm wishes to the PM, while some have dedicated kilometres-long cakes to the minister, and some have received warm wishes from him on their wedding day.
Here is a look at some of PM Narendra Modi’s top pop-culture moments
Shah Rukh Khan’s heartfelt birthday tribute
Shah Rukh Khan honored Prime Minister Modi with a heartfelt video message on his 75th birthday, praising his tenacity and vigour. With folded hands, the actor expressed gratitude and praised the PM for his journey, discipline, and youthful energy.
“Today, on the occasion of PM Modi's 75th birthday, I extend my best wishes to him. Your journey from a small city to the global stage has been very inspiring,” Shah Rukh said in Hindi.
He went on to talk about his journey and dedication towards the country, mentioning, “Your discipline, hard work and dedication towards the country can be seen in this journey. Your energy at the age of 75 even beats young people like us. I pray that you always stay healthy and happy."
The makers of Modi’s jacket
One of the most remarkable tributes to PM Modi’s influence can be seen in the fashion world. The 'Modi Jacket' – a signature style popularised by the Prime Minister – has become a cultural symbol of sophistication. But have you ever wondered who makes these jackets?
Modi’s jackets are made by JadeBlue, known for its impeccable tailoring. Designed by Jitendra and Bipin Chauhan, JadeBlue proudly touts themselves as the "official designers for India’s PM."
When a couple dedicated their wedding to PM Narendra Modi
A couple named Namrata from Bihar and Surya from Andhra Pradesh turned their wedding into a celebration of India’s unity, naming it “Bharat Ki Shaadi,” according to a report by The Statesman. But what made their special day even more extraordinary was receiving blessings from Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself.
In a video shared on Modi Archive, a popular handle on X, Surya said, “Prime Minister Modi ji’s struggles and his ability to inspire others have shaped me into a better person. This wedding isn’t just about two states coming together; it’s about celebrating India as a whole.”
Ruchi Gujjar’s Modi-inspired necklace at Cannes
PM Modi’s influence has also made its way into the world of high fashion. At the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, model-actress Ruchi Gujjar turned heads as she wore a Modi necklace.
Gujjar paired the pendants with a dramatic gold lehenga that showcased Indian craftsmanship. “The necklace is more than just jewellery, it’s a symbol of strength, vision, and India’s rise on the world stage. By wearing it at Cannes, I wanted to honour our Prime Minister, whose leadership has taken India to new heights,” she said, as reported by The Financial Express.
Packaging ft. Modi
According to The Hindu, for at least the last six months, a women clothes manufacturer based in Ahmedabad, K. Anuj, was packaging goods with pictures of Narendra Modi and messages such as “Vote for Modi” and “Nation with Namo”. This happened in 2019.
The 71 ft Modi cake
The pandemic in 2020 saw unprecedented challenges, but it also brought out the creativity and resilience of the Indian public. To celebrate PM Modi’s 70th birthday, Surat’s Breadliner bakery went above and beyond by creating a 71-foot-long, 771-kilogram cake.
We wish PM Modi a very happy birthday!
