“To His Excellency Narendra Modi, Her Excellency Droupadi Murmu, the Indian Allied Forces, my beloved India, and Indian communities across the world, Happy 76th Republic Day! Let’s sing together!" she said while singing a beautiful rendition of the national anthem.

Dressed in a green, saffron and white dress, the singer shared the video of her singing India's national anthem while standing in front of an Indian flag and an American flag.

Take a look at the video here:

This is not the first time Millben has performed the Indian national anthem. She also sang India's national anthem at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington DC in 2023and touched the feet of PM Modi to seek his blessings.

She also previously performed at the 2020 Diwali celebrations in US and sang Om Jai Jagdish Hare.

In December, Millben heaped praised on PM Modi for honouring her “saviour” Jesus Christ on Christmas. The singer lauded PM Modi for honouring Jesus Christ at a Christmas event hosted by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of India (CBCI) in Delhi.

This is not the first time that Millben has praised PM Modi. She previously described the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) as a “true act of democracy,” commending him for providing “refuge” to persecuted religious minorities.
