Bollywood celebrities participated in the celebration of two years of the Narendra Modi government by highlighting, sharing and spreading awareness on its social campaigns like “Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao” and “Swachh Bharat” campaigns.
Bollywood bigwigs Amitabh Bachchan, Vidya Balan, Raveena Tandon and Kajol were present at the celebrations.
Big B promoted the “Bati Bachao, Beti Padhao” campaign in the capacity of United Nation’s ambassador of the girl child mission, and discussed the girl child’s rights.
Crooning the song “Chhoti si aasha” was Indian Idol Junior star Nahid Afrin, while Kailash Kher, clad in saffron kurta and trousers with a Nehru jacket, sang the Swachh Bharat anthem “Swachh Bharat ka irada”.
Raveena Tandon, who is known for backing social causes, urged people to impart education to girls and women. The actress also discussed how she helped a group of 30 girls when they were asked to vacate an orphanage overnight.
Lauding the present government’s efforts to clean India, Vidya, who is a part of “Jahan Soch Wahan Shauchalya” campaign, said that she is glad to be a part of it.
I am a small part of the campaign but at the same time I am proud to be a part of it. Modi government has done a great job in spreading awareness about needs and toilets.
