The actors effortlessly channelled a contemporary courtside vibe — from tailored polos and pleated skirts to sweatbands and sleek rackets. Their cool-toned tracksuits and visors turned the playful tennis court setup into a stylish statement piece. Jitendra Kumar, Neena Gupta, Sanvikaa, Chandan Roy, Faisal Malik, Durgesh Kumar, and Ashok Pathak all pulled off the look with flair and confidence.Social media reactionRaghav Juyal chimed in with, “Haha, Panchayat goes to Woodstock.” Another user quipped, “Dekh raha hai Binod.” A social media user praised Pradhan Ji’s wife’s style, saying, “Manju Devi’s style game is 🔥.” Mollywood actress Aishwarya Lekshmi couldn’t stop gushing over Neena Gupta’s look — a green polo T-shirt paired with white pleated skirts and sneakers.Panchayat Season 4, helmed by creators Deepak Kumar Mishra and Chandan Kumar, also features Raghubir Yadav, Sunita Rajwar, and Pankaj Jha in key roles. ETimes reviewed the latest season,“Season four centres on the rivalry between the factions of Pradhan Ji and Bhushan. Tensions rise with the approaching elections. Abhishek is assaulted by Chandu’s men; Bhushan informs on Vikas, leading to the raid. In a bid to shift loyalties, Pradhan Ji invites Binod for dinner. The season plays out like a series of loosely linked village episodes rather than a tightly woven plot. While this may seem like a flaw, it also allows the show to retain its slice-of-life appeal. The beauty of the show lies in the texture and rhythm of village life it captures, and it remains grounded in its depiction of a small UP town. Its biggest strength continues to be its simplicity.”
