It’s always the same pattern. Celebrities who quietly pack their bags, move abroad for comfort, tax breaks, or better lives, suddenly find their voice when it comes to praising prime minister Narendra Modi and his “vision for India.” vivek Oberoi—now sipping lattes in Dubai—lectures indians on how “greatly” Modi is leading the country.
virat kohli, living luxuriously in london, joins the chorus of long-distance nationalism. The irony? The people who no longer find it worth living in india are the ones shouting the loudest about how india is being “transformed.” Hypocrisy doesn’t just knock—it builds a bungalow next door.
1. dubai Devotion, zero Deshbhakti
Vivek Oberoi left india for dubai but never left behind his bhakti. The man who couldn’t survive bollywood now survives on Modi soundbites from abroad.
2. Kohli’s Cover Drive to London
Virat kohli may hit centuries in india, but his permanent pitch is now in London. Praises Modi from afar, while living in the very “West” bhakts love to hate.
3. If india Is Heaven, Why Aren’t You Here?
The logic fails instantly—if Modi’s india is so “world-class,” why do these celebs choose first-class exits to dubai, london, or New York?
4. Hypocrisy Has No Passport Issues
They take the perks of foreign living—clean air, better schools, tax-friendly havens—but push patriotism on indians stuck in power cuts, joblessness, and inflation.
5. NRIs for PR
For Modi’s PR machinery, these NRIs are golden. The echo chamber sounds louder when you have celebrities abroad singing praises while enjoying the very freedoms and opportunities indians are denied here.
6. The Luxury of Long-Distance Nationalism
It’s easy to praise india when you don’t stand in queues for Aadhaar, don’t deal with collapsing infrastructure, and don’t rely on India’s broken healthcare system.
7. Hypocrisy, The National Sport
Forget cricket or hockey. The real national sport is hypocrisy—celebs abandoning india but acting like brand ambassadors of Modi’s “New India.”
👉 At the end of the day, patriotism from dubai penthouses or london mansions isn’t patriotism—it’s hypocrisy wearing a Modi mask. And indians see right through it.
