Actor Sara Ali Khan, once again, gave a glimpse of her travel diaries to fans. Recently, she explored the lanes of Kedarnath, the holy shrine in Uttarakhand, where she shot her debut movie "Kedarnath" in 2018. Sharing a snippet of her journey, the 28-year-old actor justified the essence of experiential travel by walking through the less-explored corners in and around the holy shrine. Taking a tour of a nearby village, she delves into rural life, meditates at a local temple and seeks the blessing of the seers.
This is not the first time the actor has mesmerised fans with her spiritual streak. Let's look at some of Sara's spiritual sojourns in India:
Earlier this year, Khan prayed at the Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga temple in Madhya Pradesh's Ujjain while promoting her film "Zara Hatke, Zara Bachke." However, her visit sparked criticism from some who believed that, as a Muslim from her father's side, she should not be participating in temple rituals. In response to the backlash, the actor stated that she approaches her visits to temples and Gurdwaras with the same devotion as when visiting a Dargah or the Mahakal temple.
This year, Khan also offered prayers at the Ajmer Sharif Dargah in Rajasthan while promoting her movie "Zara Hatke Zara Bachke," alongside Vicky Kaushal. Dressed in an ethnic outfit, the actor was spotted tying a thread to a wall at the dargah. The actor has been a frequent visitor to the shrine. In 2021, she went there with her mother, Amrita Singh, and posted pictures from their visit.
Khan's fascination for heritage discovery is evident in her Kashmir travel journals. She had her photo taken at the Martand Sun Temple, an ancient Hindu masterpiece dating back to the 8th century, located in Anantnag. This is where the iconic "Bismil" song from the 2014 movie "Haider" was filmed.
In 2021, Khan spent some time at the renowned Kamakhya Temple in Guwahati, Assam. Clad in a white kurta and the traditional Assamese gamosa, the 28-year-old offered prayers to Kamakhya Devi. Later, she was also spotted exploring other temples, accompanied by a friend. Following her visit, the actor took to social media to express gratitude for the experience.
In 2021, Khan shared pictures from her trip to Kashmir, where she visited various religious sites. Through this visit, she propagated the message of respecting all religions. One photo shows her standing outside a church and a mosque. She was also photographed while praying at a gurudwara and a temple.
This year, Khan also gave fans a sneak peek into her Amarnath Yatra in Jammu and Kashmir. Amid the Himalayan landscapes, the actor embarked on a devoted trek through the terrain and interacted with fellow pilgrims. She captured her journey in a video, complemented by the song "Namo Namo" from her debut film "Kedarnath."
