Prominent actress of Iranian descent, Elnaz Nourozi, has publicly commended Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s diplomatic strategy, calling it a model of putting nation first. During an interview, she detailed how Modi has solidified India’s position on the world stage.
‘Building ties with countries from Islamic states to Israel while steering a massive democracy like India requires vision. Modi’s success lies in safeguarding Indian interests foremost,’ Nourozi articulated.
She contrasted this with Iran’s approach, where she feels citizens are sidelined. ‘Internationally, I may not agree with everything, but your duty is to your country and people first. Iran’s rulers don’t care about us,’ she stated with evident disappointment.
A long-time dissenter against Iran’s theocracy, Nourozi has targeted Khamenei’s regime on social platforms. Her latest video amid Iran-Israel hostilities pinned blame on Tehran for potential civilian losses.
From an Iranian childhood to Germany, and now a staple in Indian entertainment via series such as ‘Sacred Games,’ ‘Tehran,’ and ‘Ranneeti: Balakot & Beyond,’ Nourozi embodies resilience. Fears for her life keep her from returning home.
Nourozi’s endorsement highlights the effectiveness of Modi’s foreign policy in earning respect from unlikely quarters. In an era of complex alliances, her testimony affirms that prioritizing domestic welfare yields diplomatic dividends, positioning India as a reliable global partner.
