Renowned filmmaker Boney Kapoor visited the Mahakumbh Mela in Prayagraj on Sunday, where he took a holy dip at the Triveni Sangam. Reflecting on his experience, Kapoor expressed awe at the grand scale of the event and the sheer number of devotees present.
Speaking to ANI, Kapoor reminisced about his previous visits to Prayagraj. “I’ve been here many times. Once, I came to immerse my grandfather’s ashes. Later, I attended an event here. But I have never seen anything like this before. The crowd, the devotion—it’s overwhelming. It really makes you realize how vast our country is,” he said.
