What Preity said

Preity shared a video combining several pictures from her trip to Maha Kumbh mela, from temple visits to walks, from taking a dip at the Triveni Sangam to offering prayers at Saraswati Koop. In the caption, she began, “This was my third time at the Kumbh Mela & it was magical, heartwarming & a bit sad.”

She went on to state why, and added, “Magical because no matter how hard I try, I cannot explain how I felt. Heartwarming because I went with my mom & it meant the world to her. Sad, because I wanted to be liberated from the various cycles of life & death only to realise the duality of life & attachment. Am I ready to let go of my family, my children & the people I love ? No ! I’m not !”

‘The journey ahead is solo’

She also wrote, “It’s deeply moving & humbling when it dawns on you, that the strings of attachment are strong & mighty & no matter what your attachment is, eventually your spiritual journey & the journey ahead is solo !"

The actor concluded her caption by saying, "I came back with the notion that - we are not human beings having a spiritual experience but spiritual beings having a human experience 🙏🕉️🔱🙏 Beyond this I don’t know, but I’m confident, my curiosity will definitely pave the way towards all the answers I seek… till then … हर हर महादेव ❤️ ting.”
