In a world where the hustle and bustle of everyday life often takes precedence, Bollywood actress Nushrratt Bharuchha has taken a distinctly different path by embarking on a spiritual journey to the revered shrines of Kedarnath and Badrinath. Recently, Nushrratt offered her fans and followers a glimpse into her soul-soothing trip by sharing a series of photos on Instagram, making it clear that this experience was profoundly significant for her.
The actress described her visit as a “blessed” one, sharing images that captured moments of heartfelt prayer and connection with the divine. Among these pictures, Nushrratt can be seen engaged in prayers at the sacred Kedarnath Temple, known to be one of the twelve jyotirlingas of Shiva. Nestled in the Garhwal Himalayan range along the Mandakini river in Uttarakhand, this temple is a major pilgrimage site and is accessible to the public only between April and November due to harsh weather conditions.
In one of the posted images, Nushrratt is seen standing in solemn prayer before the idol of Nandi, Shiva’s vehicle, while another captures the serenity of her feeding a cow—a practice that holds great spiritual significance in Hindu culture. Her Instagram caption read, “Blessed! My first Kedarnath & Badrinath Darshan #Godsplan,” succinctly expressing the fulfillment and spiritual peace she found during her pilgrimage.
Nushrratt wasn’t the only Bollywood star to make such a journey lately. Just last month, Sara Ali Khan also visited Kedarnath Temple to seek blessings. Dressed in a simple red T-shirt with white pants, and with a shawl draped over her head for reverence, Sara shared her own reflective thoughts about the powerful vibes of the temple and the enchanting sounds of the Mandakini river.
Further along the trail of divine exploration is the Badarinarayana Temple in Badrinath, dedicated to Lord Vishnu. It stands as a significant part of the 108 Divya Desams—sacred abodes of Vishnu revered by the Vaishnava tradition.
. This shrine is similarly open to devotees for just six months a year, from the end of April to the beginning of November, aligning with the climatic conditions that impact accessibility.
Nushrratt Bharuchha’s journey to these sacred sites is just another chapter in her multifaceted career. Since her debut with the 2002 television show ‘Kittie Party,’ Nushrratt has steadily made a mark in the entertainment industry. She transitioned to Bollywood with her 2006 film ‘Jai Santoshi Maa’. Over the years, she has appeared in a slew of popular films including ‘Kal Kissne Dekha’, ‘Taj Mahal’, and ‘Love Sex Aur Dhokha’, showcasing her versatility across different genres.
She gained widespread recognition with her role in the romantic comedy buddy film ‘Pyaar Ka Punchnama’, cementing her position as a talented actress in the industry. Directed by Luv Ranjan, this film starred other notable actors like Kartik Aaryan and Divyendu Sharma. Since then, Nushrratt has been seen in successful films such as ‘Akaash Vani’, ‘Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety’, ‘Dream Girl’, ‘Chhalaang’, and more recently, ‘Ram Setu’.
At the age of 39, Nushrratt continues to thrive in her career. She was recently seen in the action thriller ‘Akelli’, directed by Pranay Meshram, and audiences eagerly await her next appearance in the horror-thriller film ‘Chhorii 2’, directed by Vishal Furia.
Through her spiritual journey, Nushrratt Bharuchha not only sought divine blessings but also shared an intimate part of her life with her fans. Her trip to Kedarnath and Badrinath serves as a poignant reminder of the power of faith and the peace that can be found in spiritual exploration, offering her followers more than just a glimpse of her life beyond the glitzy screens of Bollywood.
