Samantha Attends Prestigious Republic Day At-Home Reception at Rashtrapati Bhavan

Samantha Ruth Prabhu added a defining chapter to her journey after receiving an official invitation to the Republic Day At-Home reception at Rashtrapati Bhavan, New Delhi—extended from the desk of the President of India.

The ceremonial evening was hosted by Droupadi Murmu alongside Narendra Modi, and brought together eminent global and Indian voices. Among the distinguished attendees were Ursula von der Leyen and Antonio Costa, reflecting the event’s international stature and spirit of collective leadership.

Later, Samantha shared a reflective note on Instagram, describing how the moment felt almost unimaginable while growing up—without cheerleaders, certainty, or a roadmap. She credited persistence and the freedom to “keep showing up” in a country that allows effort to count, expressing heartfelt gratitude for the journey that brought her there.

Her presence at the President’s House symbolised more than a personal milestone. It underscored Samantha’s expanding influence beyond cinema—as a thoughtful entrepreneur and a proponent of purposeful storytelling—marking her emergence as a contemporary cultural voice representing modern Indian creativity on a national stage.
