Several leaders, actors and public figures have congratulated the Prime Minister on the milestone, praising his leadership and contributions to the country's development.

Earlier, filmmakers Madhur Bhandarkar and Subhash Ghai extended their congratulations to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Madhur Bhandarkar said he has admired PM Modi's leadership since his tenure as Gujarat Chief Minister and highlighted the changes witnessed in India since 2014.

"I would like to extend my heartiest congratulations to the Prime Minister, Honorable Prime Minister Modi ji. I have always been a huge fan of him for many years, ever since he was the Chief Minister of Gujarat," Bhandarkar said.

Veteran filmmaker Subhash Ghai also congratulated the Prime Minister and reflected on India's journey since Independence, saying the changes witnessed under PM Modi's leadership have been unprecedented."I was born before India's Independence, so I know my 80-year relationship with India very well. I know India. In my childhood, there was our Nehru Chacha. At that time, there were many challenges; the country had just gained Independence and was yet to discover itself," Ghai said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has become the longest-continuously serving elected Prime Minister of India. Completing 4,399 consecutive days in office today, PM Modi surpassed the record of 4,398 days in the name of the country's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, for continuous service following the first general elections.
