Kangana and Rekha Gupta danced together and took turns sitting on a swing.
Kangana called Rekha Gupta her big sister and said the celebration felt like home.
She shared pictures online, wished all women a Happy Teej, and said it was her very first time celebrating Teej in this way.
Bollywood actress-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut celebrated her first Teej festival at Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta's residence.

Critics' side
Kangana Ranaut's side
Celebrity silence on the Delhi student protests
Critics' side
Naseeruddin Shah said people would speak when their conscience prompted them, using the analogy that a dog with a bone in its mouth cannot bark, to explain why several A-list celebrities had not spoken publicly about the protests; Piyush Mishra later questioned which 'dogs' were silent during the Jharkhand protests.
Kangana Ranaut's side
Kangana said everyone was 'someone's dog' and that she personally takes pride in guarding and fighting for the country whose bread she eats, alleging that Naseeruddin Shah 'eats the bread of this country, but fights for the neighbouring country.'
Reaction to the 'dog' label
Critics' side
Shah had explained that a dog with a bone in its mouth could not bark until the bone dropped or broke its teeth, implying celebrities would speak when their conscience moved them.
Kangana Ranaut's side
Kangana said being called a dog was a compliment in today's times, as loyalty and cuteness were rare, and that she would 'rather be a dog than a lomdi' like Naseeruddin Shah.
