On September 17, 2025, the Burj Khalifa, you know, the tallest building in the world, was all lit up with bright colors and nice messages. They put pictures of India’s Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, and the Indian flag on it to celebrate his 75th birthday. It was more than just a light show; it was about how friendly countries can be.
A Light-Up Celebration
They showed PM Modi’s face on the Burj Khalifa with birthday sayings like Happy Birthday and 75 Years. They also had lines like Service is the Resolve and India First the Inspiration. The Indian flag colors – orange, white, and green – looked really pretty on the building. People watching, especially Indians living in the UAE, were amazed and took lots of videos and pictures.
It wasn’t just for show. It showed how close India and the UAE have become. Earlier that day, the UAE’s President, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, wished PM Modi a happy birthday. Other world leaders, like the head of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, and King Charles, also sent good wishes. It showed that Modi is well-known even outside of India.
What it Meant and Feelings
For many Indians in Dubai, it was super emotional – like a personal thing that made them feel closer to home. Seeing the Indian colors on the Burj Khalifa made them feel so proud. It was like everyone was together.
Online, people loved it. Pics of the Burj Khalifa all lit up were all over the place. Some said it was so pretty. Others felt it showed the awesome friendship India and the UAE have. For Indians living in another country, it was like getting a shout-out from home.
Not Just a B-Day
PM Modi turning 75 is kind of a big deal for more than just him. The number 75 is a big deal in India and elsewhere – it’s about looking back at all the years. The lights went on while Modi’s government is working on health, the environment, and helping people out. It also showed how much India matters worldwide. For the UAE, it was a way of saying we’re pals and recognizing how good things are between the two countries.
Last Thoughts
As it got dark in Dubai, the Burj Khalifa was a bright sign of respect and friendship. The lights might go off, but the message stays: leaders are remembered for the good things they do and the respect they get. For PM Modi’s 75th, the world showed its respect, which shows that leaders are now seen everywhere, not just in their own country.
