Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor marked Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 76th birthday with a social initiative focused on education. Alia shared a birthday message for the Prime Minister on social media and announced that she and Ranbir would support the Seva Sankalp Abhiyaan by pledging to refurbish 20 schools in Mumbai.
The announcement came on September 17, when several Bollywood personalities shared birthday messages for Prime Minister Narendra Modi. While actors including Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar and others also posted their wishes, Alia’s message included a specific commitment involving school infrastructure.
Alia Bhatt’s birthday message for PM Modi
Alia Bhatt took to social media to extend her wishes to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In her post, she wished him a healthy and fulfilling year ahead before explaining her and Ranbir Kapoor’s contribution to the initiative.
According to Alia’s announcement, the couple has pledged to refurbish 20 schools based on recommendations from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). The stated objective is to help create better-equipped learning spaces for children.
The actor connected the initiative with the broader idea of collective action and giving back to society. The pledge is part of the Seva Sankalp Abhiyaan being highlighted around the Prime Minister’s birthday.
Ranbir Kapoor joins Alia in the initiative
Although the announcement was shared by Alia, the pledge involves both members of the celebrity couple. Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt have committed to supporting the refurbishment of 20 schools.
The schools are to be identified and improved in accordance with recommendations from the BMC. The available reports describe the initiative as a refurbishment effort aimed at improving school facilities rather than simply a financial donation.
The announcement has consequently brought the couple into the spotlight for a reason beyond their film careers. Their involvement also adds an entertainment-industry dimension to the wider Seva Sankalp Abhiyaan associated with the Prime Minister’s birthday.
What is the Seva Sankalp Abhiyaan?
The Seva Sankalp Abhiyaan is a month-long campaign announced by the BJP in connection with Prime Minister Modi completing 25 years of public service on October 7. The campaign includes activities focused on service and social initiatives.
The school refurbishment pledge by Alia and Ranbir has been reported in the context of this campaign. Other Bollywood personalities also shared messages or service-related commitments around the Prime Minister’s birthday.
The political party's announcement about the campaign was made earlier in September, while the celebrity messages and commitments came around Modi’s birthday on September 17.
Other Bollywood celebrities also sent birthday wishes
Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor were not the only members of the film industry to acknowledge the occasion.
Salman Khan shared a birthday message for the Prime Minister on X, while Shah Rukh Khan also wished Modi good health, happiness and fulfilment. Akshay Kumar posted about the idea of marking the birthday through acts of service, and Mohanlal also shared a message.
These messages came from individual celebrities through their respective social media accounts. Their posts varied in wording and in the nature of the messages or commitments they shared.
A focus on education and school facilities
For Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor, the central element of their announcement is the refurbishment of 20 schools. The initiative specifically refers to BMC recommendations, linking the proposed work to the civic body's assessment of the schools.
Improving school infrastructure can involve several areas, including the physical condition of buildings and the availability of facilities required for students and teachers. However, the reports currently available do not provide a detailed list of the specific renovation work planned at each of the 20 schools.
The couple’s announcement therefore establishes the number of schools involved and the BMC’s role in recommending them, while the exact scope and timeline of the refurbishment remain to be detailed.
Alia and Ranbir’s public presence beyond films
Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor remain among the most closely followed celebrity couples in Hindi cinema, with their professional and personal appearances frequently attracting public attention.
This latest announcement puts the spotlight on a social initiative rather than an upcoming film or entertainment project. By linking their birthday message with a pledge involving 20 schools, the couple has made education and school infrastructure the central theme of their public statement.
For now, the announcement marks the beginning of the proposed refurbishment initiative. Further details about the selected schools, the nature of the improvements and the implementation timeline are expected to clarify how the pledge will be carried out.
