It is celebration of democracy. Something good has happened and it will continue to happen," Boney told PTI.

Oberoi, who played PM Modi in a biopic and had also attended the swearing in ceremony in 2014, said, "I'm watching @narendramodi bhai taking his oath for the 3rd time on his journey from CM Gujarat to PM of Bharat once again! Feeling like a small part of an incredible history." 

Earlier in the day, Kangana was snapped at the Kalina airport as she left for the national capital. "Best wishes to Prime Minister. Hope he will be able to do everything with ease. We have a lot of expectations from him and hope that he achieves the goals that he has set for himself," she told reporters.

On my way to Delhi with my friend and fellow traveler @AnilKapoor. Looking forward to new beginnings. Jai Ho. Jai Hind."
