Filmmaker extraordinaire Subhash Ghai emerged from Republic Day festivities with stories that could rival his own blockbusters. His audience with President Droupadi Murmu at the presidential residence was, in his words, profoundly uplifting, sparking visions of her life as the subject of a future masterpiece.
Through an evocative social media update and accompanying snapshot, Ghai unpacked the transformative power of Murmu’s biography. Overcoming poverty and prejudice in a tribal heartland, she scaled the pinnacle of Indian democracy—a testament that determination trumps destiny. ‘Her modesty and steel will teach us all,’ he reflected.
Ghai passionately argued that no child should be without this narrative, countering cynicism about opportunity’s exclusivity. For Bollywood, it’s a goldmine: ‘Filming her story would be an honor beyond measure,’ he envisioned.
Complementing this was a warm encounter with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, whose reception welcome left Ghai spellbound. ‘Words pale next to the emotions in his eyes; his charm is unparalleled,’ Ghai marveled, invoking divine blessings for Modi’s vitality.
In sharing these gems, Ghai bridges celebrity and citizenship, using Republic Day to champion stories that redefine possibility for generations.
