Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor Pledge to Refurbish Twenty Mumbai Schools

Alia Bhatt described the campaign as an effort in “collective action and giving back,” saying the refurbishments would help create “brighter, better-equipped spaces for our children to learn and thrive.”
Akshay Kumar said the birthday was being marked with a “resolve for service,” urging people to help someone in need or bring a smile to someone’s face as a simple way to serve.
Salman Khan posted a direct birthday greeting to Modi on X: “Janam Din Mubarak Ho Honourable PM Sahab, Wish you a very Happy Birthday Narendra Bhai Modi. Jai Hind.”
Alia Bhatt is set to appear in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal; she was recently seen in Alpha with Sharvari.
Bollywood actors Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor pledged to refurbish 20 Mumbai schools for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 76th birthday. The initiative is part of Seva Sankalp Abhiyan, a monthlong campaign honoring Modi's 76 years and 25 years in public service. Asianet News reported the refurbishments will follow recommendations from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation to improve learning environments.
Multiple Bollywood stars joined the campaign. Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, and Sanjay Dutt posted birthday wishes and service pledges. Alia described the effort as "collective action and giving back" to create "brighter, better-equipped spaces for our children to learn and thrive," according to India's News.
The 20-school project marks a major civic commitment by the couple. Sangri Today reported the renovations will transform learning spaces across Mumbai. Alia emphasized the initiative creates "brighter, better-equipped spaces" where children can thrive. The work will be guided by municipal recommendations to ensure improvements meet real community needs.
Beyond Alia and Ranbir, Bollywood embraced the campaign. Economic Times reported Ranveer Singh pledged to support education for 1,000 girls. Akshay Kumar said the birthday marked a "resolve for service," urging people to help someone in need or bring a smile to someone's face.
Salman Khan posted directly on X: "Janam Din Mubarak Ho Honourable PM Sahab, Wish you a very Happy Birthday Narendra Bhai Modi. Jai Hind." Shah Rukh Khan and Sanjay Dutt also joined with birthday messages supporting public service initiatives.
The monthlong campaign honors two milestones: Modi's 76th birthday and 25 years in public life. Big News Network reported the initiative includes broader service and welfare initiatives beyond school refurbishments. The campaign encourages collective action across society.
