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 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.”

The Mahakumbh Mela began on January 13, 2025, in Uttar Pradesh’s Prayagraj. It is set to conclude on February 26. Several Bollywood celebrities, including Akshay Kumar, Vicky Kaushal, Katrina Kaif, Raveena Tandon, Juhi Chawla and Hema Malini have visited the Maha Kumbh in the last few days.
