Draped in an ethereal white and golden saree, Kangana Ranaut epitomized grace as she arrived at the Rashtrapati Bhavan for PM Modi’s swearing-in ceremony.
Having emerged victorious in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections from the Mandi constituency, Kangana arrived at the venue while sporting her signature bob hairstyle and a minimalistic makeup look. She accessorized her attire with a resplendent necklace and earrings, exuding regality with every step.
Meanwhile, Akshay Kumar made a dapper statement in formal attire, donning a pink shirt paired with black pants as he graced the venue with his presence.

As President Droupadi Murmu administered the oath of office to Narendra Modi and his team of ministers, the solemnity of the occasion was palpable.
Prime Minister Modi, clad in a full-sleeved white kurta with churidar and a blue half jacket, epitomized simplicity and statesmanship as he embarked on his third successive term.
With the Bharatiya Janata Party-led NDA securing a resounding victory in the Lok Sabha elections, PM Modi’s re-election marks a historic moment in Indian politics, with the NDA clinching 293 seats, including 240 won solely by the BJP.
