This led to a celebration for actresses Kangana Ranaut and Samantha Ruth Prabhu. They took to their social media handles to congratulate Gukesh and shared the video of their reaction following Gukesh's win.

Sharing the video of the winning moment, Samantha wrote, "Beautiful," followed by flexing muscles emoticons.
This win has marked 19-year-old Gukesh's first-ever classical win over a Norwegian grandmaster. Not just this, he also became the second Indian to beat Magnus after Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa.
