Vijayawada/IBNS: Bollywood icon Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was among the dignitaries who were present along with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the centenary celebrations of Sri Sathya Sai Baba in Andhra Pradesh's Puttaparthi on Wednesday.

The event was also marked by the presence of cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, Union Ministers Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu and G Kishan Reddy.

But what caught the attention was Aishwarya touching Modi's feet followed by the Prime Minister's blessings on her.

When she addressed the gathering, the former Miss World talked about caste, religion and language.

"There is only one caste, the caste of humanity. There is only one religion, the religion of love. There is only one language, the language of the heart, and there is only one God, and he is omnipresent," she said.

Aishwarya also thanked PM Modi and said she was looking forward to his address to the event.

The 52-year-old said as quoted by  "I extend a heartfelt thank you to PM Narendra Modi ji, for being with us here today and for honouring this special occasion. I'm looking forward to listening to your wise words, impactful and inspiring as always, to enthral us today this morning.

"Your presence here adds sanctity and inspiration to this centenary celebration and reminds us of Swami's message that true leadership is service and service to man is service to God..," she added.
