Bhumi Pednekkar performs Ganga aarti in Rishikesh
Rishikesh, April 14
Many people have their own version of a "place of peace". For actor Bhumi Pednekkar, that place is Rishikesh.
Bhumi recently visited Rishikesh, and she could not be happier. From performing Ganga aarti at Parmarth Niketan Ashram to meeting Chidanand Saraswati, she made many special memories that she will always cherish.
Sharing her experience spending surreal time amidst the Ganga ghaats, Bhumi wrote on Instagram. "Wasn't even supposed to be here. Dehradun had called me for an event, but Rishikesh called me louder. My first time at the Ganga was to say goodbye to my father. And then, to shoot for my 1st film, And maybe that's why this place never feels like just a place. It feels like a conversation I keep returning to. Healing isn't linear. Sometimes it looks like an unplanned detour at 6am to a river that already knows your name. So blessed."
Speaking of Bhumi's work front, she has been doing amazingly well. Last year, her performance in Netflix's 'The Royals' was widely appreciated.
She also garnered praise for her role in web series titled Daldal, a thriller drama where she plays DCP Rita Ferreira.
Reportedly, her film with actor Imran Khan is also in the works. The project will mark Imran's return to acting after almost a decade.

It's refreshing to see a Bollywood star sharing such a personal and genuine spiritual journey, rather than just a promotional post. Her words about healing are very relatable. Wishing her the best for her upcoming projects too!
While I appreciate the sentiment, I sometimes feel these visits by film stars get more coverage than the millions of ordinary Indians who make such pilgrimages with deep faith every day. The focus should be on the place and its significance, not just the celebrity.
As someone who visited Rishikesh last year, I completely understand what she means. There's a palpable sense of peace by the Ganges. It's wonderful that places like this exist in the world. Her Instagram caption is beautifully written.
Good to see her success on the work front as well! 'The Royals' was a great watch, and I'm excited for her film with Imran Khan. It's a solid comeback combination. All the best to both!
Maa Ganga blesses everyone equally. Whether you're a star or a common person, the river's grace is for all. Hope her visit inspires more people to experience the spiritual heritage of our incredible country. Jai Gange! 🪔
