Salman Khan, Ranbir Kapoor Among Celebrities Attending RSS Cultural Event in Mumbai
Mumbai: Bollywood superstars Salman Khan and Ranbir Kapoor, along with several prominent personalities from the film and cultural fraternity, attended a Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)–organised cultural event in Mumbai on Sunday. The programme was held at the Nehru Centre Auditorium in Worli and witnessed the presence of noted artists, lyricists, and intellectuals.
Pictures and videos from the event quickly went viral on social media, drawing widespread attention. Salman Khan was seen seated beside renowned lyricist and screenwriter Prasoon Joshi, attentively listening to the proceedings. The actor maintained a low profile during the programme and did not interact with the media at the venue.
Ranbir Kapoor was also among the attendees, adding to the high-profile nature of the gathering. Several other figures from the entertainment and cultural sectors were present, reflecting the event’s broad outreach beyond political or ideological lines.
According to sources, the programme focused on cultural and nationalistic themes, with discussions highlighting India’s heritage, values, and social harmony. Prasoon Joshi, who has often spoken about Indian culture and ethos in public forums, played a significant role in the event.
The presence of leading Bollywood actors at an RSS-associated event sparked intense discussion online, with netizens expressing mixed reactions. While some praised the stars for engaging with cultural platforms, others debated the intersection of cinema, culture, and ideology.
Neither Salman Khan nor Ranbir Kapoor has issued an official statement regarding their participation so far. However, industry observers note that such events increasingly aim to bridge the gap between art, culture, and society by involving voices from diverse creative backgrounds.
The event concluded peacefully, with tight security arrangements in place. As images continue to circulate on social media, the appearance of Bollywood’s biggest names at the programme has once again brought public attention to the evolving relationship between the film industry and cultural organisations.
