Smriti Irani helps a 'stranded' Asha Bhosle at PM Modi's swearing-in

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's swearing-in ceremony was a star-studded affair. From leading industrialists to B-town celebrities, the mega event witnessed 6,000 guests at the forecourt of Rashtrapai Bhawan. All eyes were on the newly-sworn PM, and guests simply couldn't wait to congratulate him. Amidst this, veteran singer Asha Bhosle was stranded in the rush, and newly-elected Union Minister Smriti Irani came to her rescue.
Irani, who has been elected to Parliament after defeating Rahul Gandhi from the Amethi constituency in Uttar Pradesh, offered a helping hand to the singer. The newly-elected MP also made sure that the singer reached home safely.



Bhosle took to Twitter to share a picture with Irani and thanked the former actress.

She wrote, "I was stranded in the crazy rush post PM's oath ceremony. No one offered to help me except Smriti Irani, who saw my plight and made sure I reached home safely. She cares and that is why she won."



PM Modi, who was re-elected to office for the second-consecutive term, was sworn-in a glittering ceremony attended by business tycoons like Mukesh Ambani, Ratan Tata, and Bollywood celebrities like Shahid Kapoor, Kangana Ranaut and director Karan Johar.
