Prime Minister Narendra Modi Sunday lauded actors Hrithik Roshan and Nagarjuna for joining the "Swachh Bharat" mission, saying they will inspire others too.

"Am sure you all will get inspired by Hrithik's efforts! He has made a significant effort towards creating a Swachh Bharat. MyCleanIndia," Modi wrote in his Twitter handle.

His comments came hours after Hrithik Roshan tweeted: "Swachhbharat I started cleaning my own surroundings and learnt so much. Started with my lanes in Juhu.

"2day I pledge 2 keep my home, my roads, my city, my country clean. I also take responsibility 2 teach n empower others 2 follow."


In another tweet, Modi said: "Noted actor Nagarjuna joining Swachh Bharat Mission can draw many others towards our efforts to create a Clean India."

Modi launched the "Swachh Bharat Mission" campaign Oct 2, the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.
