A content creator from Nagaland, who goes by the Instagram name missy_chilii, has penned an emotional note thanking Prime Minister Narendra Modi after he mentioned her during a rally in Bihar for singing a Chhath Puja song with deep emotion despite language barriers.
In an Instagram post, the singer expressed her gratitude and said she was still “absorbing the magnitude” of the moment. “Words can’t express my gratitude, @narendramodi ji Sir! My heart is overflowing & I am still absorbing the magnitude of yesterday’s events. To be recognized by Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi Ji during his rally in Bihar is an honor that feels truly surreal,” she wrote.
“The Prime Minister’s words—highlighting that despite being a girl from Nagaland who struggles with Hindi, I sang the sacred Chhath Puja song in such an ‘emotional and mesmerising way’—have touched me to my core,” she added.
The woman went on to say that for some people it may seem like a small moment, but for her, it meant everything. “Thank you, respected Prime Minister Modi Ji, for seeing my dedication and recognizing the profound effort required to connect with a language and tradition so far from my own. This recognition is more than any award; it is a profound privilege and a moment of history in my life,” she said.
