Amruta Fadnavis Takes Risky Selfie During Angriya Cruise Inauguration in Mumbai (Watch Video & Pics)
Coming back to Amruta Fadnavis' eyebrow-raising selfie moment from the inauguration ceremony, we hope everyone on board does not imitate it as it can be quite dangerous.
It was a historic day for India as country’s first luxury cruise, Angriya was inaugurated on Saturday. The coastal cruise ship will sail off on its maiden voyage – from Mumbai to Goa on October 24, 2018. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Union Minister Nitin Gadkari flagged off the cruise ship. However, it was Maha CM’s wife Amruta Fadnavis who came under media spotlight at the inauguration ceremony -- for not all the right reasons. Amruta, a banker, singer and social activist also happens to be an avid selfie lover, and it was clearly evident as she went an extra mile (no pun intended) to take a risky selfie!

Earlier on Saturday, Angriya was inaugurated by Devendra Fadnavis and Nitin Gadkari, the Minister for Road Transport & Highways, Shipping and Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation. It was a landmark day in the history of the maximum city as few lucky people got a chance to see Angriya that will begin its first trip on October 24 from Mumbai port at 4 pm IST. It will cover its journey and reach its destination, Goa by 9 am IST the next day.
