Bollywood star Katrina Kaif made a spiritual stop in Prayagraj on Monday, joining the Maha Kumbh Mela—one of the largest religious gatherings in the world.
During her visit, Katrina met Swami Chidanand Saraswati, president of Parmarth Niketan Ashram, and sought his blessings. Speaking about her experience, she shared her excitement and gratitude.
“I feel very fortunate to be here this time. It’s a beautiful experience, and I’m grateful for it. Meeting Swami Chidanand Saraswati was truly special. I’m just beginning to explore everything, and the energy here is incredible. I’m looking forward to spending the entire day at the Mela,” she told ANI.
