Bollywood star Katrina Kaif, accompanied by her mother-in-law Veena Kaushal, visited the Mahakumbh Mela in Prayagraj and took a sacred dip at the Triveni Sangam. The actress, dressed elegantly in a light pink suit, first met with Parmarth Niketan Ashram’s president Swami Chidanand Saraswati and Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati to seek their blessings.
Later, Katrina changed into a pastel yellow suit and proceeded to the Triveni Sangam, where she participated in the holy ritual of taking a dip at the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and mystical Saraswati rivers. A video capturing this moment has gone viral, showcasing her devotion and reverence for the sacred event.
Speaking to ANI, Katrina expressed her gratitude and excitement about being part of the Mahakumbh Mela. “I feel fortunate to be here. I’m happy and grateful. The energy, beauty, and significance of everything is amazing. I’m looking forward to spending the day here,” she said.
This visit follows her husband, actor Vicky Kaushal’s, attendance at the Maha Kumbh on February 13, ahead of the release of his film ‘Chhaava’. The Mahakumbh Mela, a revered Hindu festival held at the Triveni Sangam, continues to attract millions of devotees, including celebrities. Other Bollywood stars such as Akshay Kumar, Raveena Tandon, Preity Zinta, Sonali Bendre, and Anupam Kher have also participated in the sacred ritual this year.
As the festival nears its conclusion, the final major bathing ritual is set to take place on February 26, coinciding with Mahashivratri. Reports from the Uttar Pradesh government’s Information Department indicate that as of Sunday, an astonishing 630 million people had visited the holy site, underscoring the immense spiritual and cultural significance of the Mahakumbh Mela.
On the professional front, Katrina Kaif was last seen in Tiger 3 alongside Salman Khan. She is now gearing up for her next project, Jee Le Zaraa, directed by Farhan Akhtar, where she will star alongside Alia Bhatt and Priyanka Chopra Jonas.
