Renowned director Subhash Ghai turned to social media to celebrate Republic Day not just with parades and festivities, but with profound personal encounters that redefined inspiration for him. His meeting with President Droupadi Murmu stood out as a pinnacle of motivation, prompting him to advocate for her story to reach every corner of India.
Posting a striking image from Rashtrapati Bhavan, Ghai detailed how Murmu’s rise from adversity embodies the true spirit of the Indian dream. ‘In a country where many believe success is tied to urban elites or elite lineages, her journey shatters those myths,’ he noted. Her blend of humility and resolve, he argued, is a blueprint for overcoming life’s toughest trials.
Ghai went further, suggesting that crafting a film about the President’s life would be the ultimate tribute for any creative mind in Bollywood. This sentiment underscores a broader call: every youngster should know this tale of triumph, fueling their own ambitions regardless of background.
The day also brought a memorable exchange with PM Narendra Modi. Ghai was touched by the leader’s genuine warmth, describing how Modi’s expressive gaze spoke volumes during their brief but impactful greeting. ‘His personality has a magical pull,’ Ghai observed, ending with prayers for Modi’s enduring well-being.
As Republic Day echoes fade, Ghai’s reflections serve as a reminder of leaders who humanize greatness, inspiring a nation to dream bigger.
