Actor Sudesh Berry faces online backlash after comments praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi on a podcast. According to reports, Berry described Modi as “an avatar of Lord Vishnu” and said he wants to wash Modi’s feet and drink the water, adding that the remarks relate to bringing “Ram Rajya.” The statements have prompted criticism and accusations of “blind faith” from some social media users.
In addition to the praise, Berry also addressed his political interactions. He reportedly said he rejected an invitation from the Congress-led INDIA bloc’s CJP (as described by the outlet), and criticized the party as unproductive. While the core controversy centers on the religious and personal nature of his remarks about the prime minister, sources also note that his comments extend to his stance on political engagement. The reported reactions vary across outlets, but both accounts agree on the main details: Berry’s depiction of Modi in religious terms, his willingness to perform devotional acts, and the subsequent public backlash.
