On PM Modi's birthday, Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor pledge 20 school renovations. Ranveer Singh to support education for 1,000 girls

Bollywood actors Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor have announced education-related initiatives as part of the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan on the occasion of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 76th birthday. While Ranveer has pledged to support the education of 1,000 girls, Alia and Ranbir have committed to refurbishing 20 schools based on recommendations from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).

The announcements came on September 17, when PM Modi celebrated his 76th birthday. The Seva Sankalp Abhiyan has been launched around the occasion and the BJP has said the month-long initiative will mark 25 years of PM Modi's public service.

Ranveer Singh visits Lalbaugcha Raja

Ranveer Singh marked Ganesh Chaturthi by visiting Mumbai's famous Lalbaugcha Raja pandal. The actor sought blessings for his family and the journey ahead before announcing his contribution to the education initiative.


Speaking to News18 after his visit, Ranveer said he was happy to be at the pandal and expressed gratitude for the year gone by. He said that, with Bappa's blessings, the past year had been a happy one for him and his family. His visit, he added, was also about thanking Lord Ganesha and seeking blessings for the future.

The actor then announced that he would join the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan and support the education of 1,000 girls. Ranveer connected the pledge with both Ganesh Chaturthi and PM Modi's birthday, expressing hope that the initiative would receive Bappa's blessings.

His announcement makes education the focus of his contribution to the campaign, with the actor specifically pledging support for 1,000 girls.

Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor pledge to rennovate 20 schools

Alia Bhatt also marked PM Modi's birthday with a social media post. Along with wishing the Prime Minister good health and a fulfilling year ahead, she announced a commitment made by her and husband Ranbir Kapoor.

According to Alia's post, the couple will support the Seva Sankalp Abhiyaan by pledging to refurbish 20 schools. She said the schools would be selected based on recommendations from the BMC. The stated aim is to help create better-equipped spaces where children can learn and grow.

Alia described the campaign as an example of collective action and giving back. Rather than simply marking the occasion with a birthday message, she used the post to announce the couple's contribution to improving school infrastructure.

The announcement adds Alia and Ranbir to the list of film personalities participating in the initiative. Their pledge is focused on school infrastructure, while Ranveer's commitment is centred on supporting girls' education.

Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan among celebrities who wished PM Modi

Several Bollywood celebrities also took to social media to wish PM Modi on his birthday. Salman Khan shared a brief birthday message on X, wishing the Prime Minister and ending his post with "Jai Hind."

Shah Rukh Khan also shared a birthday message for PM Modi. He wished him good health, happiness and fulfilment, while expressing hope that the Prime Minister would continue to inspire the nation.

The celebrity messages came as the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan was being rolled out. BJP National President Nitin Nabin had announced on September 9 that the Prime Minister would complete 25 years of public service on October 7. The party subsequently planned a month-long campaign around the milestone.

For the Bollywood actors, the campaign has resulted in different kinds of commitments.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Ranveer Singh will next be seen in Jay Mehta’s Pralay after the success of Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar: The Revenge. On the personal front, he and wife Deepika Padukone are also expecting their second child.

Meanwhile, Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt have several projects lined up. Ranbir’s Ramayana is set to release this Diwali, followed by the shoot of Ramayana: Part II, which is scheduled for Diwali 2027. He also stars alongside Alia in Love and War, which is awaiting release.
