This endorsement was triggered by a tweet from former cricketer Virender Sehwag, who highlighted the potential of unexplored places in India, including Udupi, Pondicherry’s Paradise Beach, and Neil and Havelock Islands in Andaman. Sehwag emphasized the need for infrastructure support to transform these hidden gems into tourist attractions, contributing to India’s economy.
Sehwag’s tweet was a response to the controversial comments made by some Maldives ministers on social media regarding Prime Minister Modi’s visit to Lakshadweep. The ministers’ remarks have sparked a diplomatic spat between the two nations.
As the tensions persist, Bachchan and Sehwag’s call to explore India’s untouched treasures serves as a positive reminder of the country’s inherent beauty, fostering a sense of national pride and unity.
