Mumbai’s spotlight turned to international diplomacy as Iranian actress Elnaz Nourozi voiced strong support for PM Narendra Modi’s foreign policy. In a revealing statement, she lauded his ability to cultivate alliances worldwide without compromising national priorities.
‘India’s leadership under Modi has masterfully navigated relations with diverse powers, including Muslim nations and Israel. For a country of India’s scale, this balance is remarkable and reflects a commitment to its citizens’ security above all,’ Nourozi observed.
Reflecting on her Iranian roots, she expressed frustration with her homeland’s leadership. ‘While I disagree with certain global stances as an Iranian, leaders must prioritize their own people. Iran’s regime shows little regard for its citizens’ well-being,’ she critiqued sharply.
Nourozi’s outspokenness against Iran’s establishment is well-documented. She has repeatedly called out Supreme Leader Khamenei online and recently warned in a video that Tehran’s provocations could lead to civilian deaths for which the government bears responsibility.
Having fled Iran young for Germany and later thriving in Bollywood with hits like ‘Sacred Games’ and ‘Tehran,’ Nourozi cites safety concerns preventing her return. Her career trajectory mirrors her bold personal stands.
This praise from a prominent Iranian voice bolsters Modi’s image as a pragmatic global statesman. As India strengthens its geopolitical footprint, Nourozi’s words resonate, reminding that true diplomacy starts at home. Her perspective enriches the narrative of India’s rising diplomatic clout.
