'Do as SRK admonished..': US Singer Mary Millben evokes film 'Jawan' to give reply to Nitish Kumar

Acclaimed African-American singer Mary Millben slammed Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar for his controversial remarks in the assembly and evoked Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan to teach him a lesson.

Millben also praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his stand for women, describing him as the best leader for India and the progress of Indian citizens.

In a video message posted on X, Mary Millben slammed Bihar CM, “Today, India faces a defining moment. Right in Bihar. Where the value of women is being challenged. And I believe there is only one answer to this challenge. After Chief Minister #NitishKumar Ji’s comments, I believe a courageous woman needs to step up and declare her candidacy to run for Chief Minister of Bihar. If I were a citizen of India, I would move to Bihar and run for Chief Minister.”

“In the holy scriptures, Queen Esther was admonished by her cousin Mordecai to boldly approach her husband, the King, to help save her Jewish people. It was Mordecai who challenged Esther to see her place as Queen, her place and time in the kingdom, as a defining moment to save her Jewish people. Mordecai said to Esther, ‘who knows but that you Esther have come to the kingdom, made Queen, for such a time as this?’ I believe the time is now for Nitish Kumar to resign and for an Esther to arise in Bihar,” Millben further said.

“I believe the BJP should empower a woman to lead in Bihar. This would be the true sentiment of women empowerment and development in response. Or Bihar, do as SRK admonished in the film #Jawan, “vote” and bring change. You the people of Bihar, of India, have the power to vote in a woman, to vote in change…for such a time as this,” Millben added.

Millben made headlines as she touched the Prime Minister Narendra Modi's feet during his State visit to the US and sang the Indian national anthem, “Jana Gana Mana”.

Explaining why she supports Modi, Millben said, "The answer is simple. I love India... And I believe Prime Minister Modi is the best leader for India, and the progress of Indian citizens. He's the best leader for the US-India relationship and for the global economic stability of the world... The PM stands for women."
