As the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was set for a comfortable majority in the Lok Sabha, the party's supporters in filmdom like Asha Bhosle and Madhur Bhandarkar wished Narendra Modi and looked forward to seeing him take oath as the country's new prime minister.
The celebs took to Twitter to share their views. Here's what they wrote:
