Actor Vivek Oberoi underscored the general mood in his tweet, saying "On my way to delhi! Atmosphere even in the aircraft is electric! Everyone is buzzing about the swearing in! I feel honoured and privileged to be invited to witness history in the making! Today will be a golden day to remember!," he said.

Anupam Kher said in his tweet: "On my way to Delhi. Looking forward to the beginning of a new era. Jai Ho." His son Sikandar said: "On my way to Delhi to watch history being made... Travelling with dad after ages." BJP MP and Bollywood 'dreamgirl' Hema Malini said: "Good afternoon! Going to Delhi now to participate in the celebrations! May not be able to talk to you through the day! It's going to be a busy day. Of course I carry with me all your good wishes to Modiji for a successful and fruitful 5 years of good governance!"
