Watch: Mamata Banerjee’s Workout In Saree And Slippers At London’s Hyde Park

Mamata Banerjee was seen jogging at London's Hyde Park in a white saree with a green border and her signature white slippers. Trinamool Congress leader Kunal Ghosh shared pictures and videos of her visit, showing her walking from Buckingham Palace to Hyde Park alongside other officials.

To stay warm in London's chilly weather, she paired her saree with a black cardigan and a shawl. Kunal Ghosh, in a post on X (formerly Twitter), quoted her saying that it was not just a walk but a "warm-up." She was also seen engaging in back-walking and clapping as part of her routine.

This is not the first time Banerjee has been seen jogging abroad. During her visit to Spain in 2023, she had a similar "refreshing morning" in Madrid, jogging in a saree and slippers, sending out the message to "stay fit, stay healthy."

She arrived in London on Sunday as part of an official visit aimed at strengthening Bengal's ties with Britain. Speaking about the historic relationship between Bengal and Britain, she said that it spans centuries and is deeply rooted in history, culture, and commerce.

"As we landed in London yesterday, we stepped into a city that, much like Kolkata, carries the weight of its past while embracing the dynamism of the present. Before the day's engagements commenced, I took a moment to immerse myself in the essence of London's timeless grandeur. From its iconic landmarks to its storied streets, the city exudes an old-world charm that speaks of history and evolution-values that Bengal, too, holds close to its heart," she wrote in a post on X.

She also expressed her desire to deepen Bengal's engagement with Britain and reinforce their long-standing ties.
