It is a packed starry afternoon as celebrities across the Indian film industries have assembled in Ayodhya for Ram Mandir consecration ceremony. Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, Rajinikanth, Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan, Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Ayushmann Khurrana, Kangana Ranaut, Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif among others are in attendance for the Pran Pratishtha ceremony.
Amitabh Bachchan was seen arriving at Ram Mandir, with his son Abhishek Bachchan keeping his hand gently on his back as they made their way through their seats. Once they reached the designated spots, Amitabh Bachchan was seen greeting the guests present with folded hands. He also met Arun Govil who was seated close to him in the front row.
Rajinikanth was seen interacting with a volunteer before he took his front row seat, presumably in the same row as the Bachchans. He also interacted with Anil Ambani before he was seated. Also seen in another video were Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan, engrossed in deep conversation.
In another video, Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt were seen sitting together, with the Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani star holding his hands. They were seen sitting with Akash Ambani and wife Shloka. Seated right behind them were couple Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal, with Ayushmann Khurrana and Rajkumar Hirani next to them. Madhuri Dixit and husband Sriram Nene were seating behind them.
Before entering the high-security venue, the celebs were asked to show their invites. A video captures the event as Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Katrina Kaif etc show a white paper to the security staff before entering the Ram Mandir premises. Netizens applauded the security arrangement and also how celebs carried their invites and followed the security protocols.
