On the occasion of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 75th birthday, wishes have been pouring in from global leaders and celebrities on X. Among them, football legend Lionel Messi sent a special gift to mark the moment.
Messi gifted a signed jersey that he wore during the 2022 FIFA World Cup final. It is being described as one of the most cherished gifts PM Modi has received this year.
The gift has gained more attention as Messi is expected to visit India from December 13 to 15. He is likely to tour Mumbai, Kolkata, and Delhi. Reports suggest he may also meet PM Modi during the trip, adding further significance to the gesture.
Every year, the Prime Minister auctions the gifts he receives and donates the proceeds to charity. Messi's signed jersey is expected to fetch crores during this year's charity auction.
Back home, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan extended their birthday wishes to PM Modi on X.
