Congratulating Williams and the entire team on their safe return, PM Modi praised their courage, resilience, and commitment to scientific exploration. In a post on social media, the Prime Minister wrote, “Proud moment for humanity and for all Indians as Sunita Williams returns safely to Earth. Her achievements continue to inspire our youth to dream big. I look forward to welcoming her to India.”
Not limited to the silver screen, this potonotrophy wave is just as visible in political circles. In Telangana, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and his colleague Uttam Kumar Reddy showcase contrasting beard styles—one meticulously trimmed and the other flowing. Meanwhile, in Andhra Pradesh, Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu sports his distinct beard, while his son and Minister Lokesh follows the trend with a youthful, salt-and-pepper look. Even political heavyweight and cinema icon Pawan Kalyan, now Deputy Chief Minister, dons a luxuriant mane of facial hair, reinforcing the notion of beards as a symbol of power and masculinity.
