Richard Gere joins International Yoga Day with Indian PM Narendra Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi wished the countrymen on the 9th International Yoga Day and said that coming together of more than 180 countries on India’s call is historic.

Famed Hollywood actor Richard Gere, Iyengar yoga exponent Deidra Demens, New York City Mayor Eric Adams, and prominent American singer Mary Millben were among the eminent personalities who joined Prime Minister Narendra Modi for a unique yoga session at the UN Headquarters. Hollywood actor Richard Gere, who attended the event, is also an advocate for human rights in Tibet and co-founder of the Tibet House, US, and Chairman of the Board of Directors for the International Campaign for Tibet.

Richard said on Yoga Day that, “PM Modi is a product of Indian culture and comes from a vast place like Indian culture does. This message of universal brotherhood and sisterhood is the one we want to hear again and again.”
