Mandira Bedi's 21-day gratitude: Daily visits to Gurudwara

Actress Mandira Bedi shares her 21-day spiritual journey of daily Gurudwara visits for gratitude, finding joy and centering amidst a busy schedule.

"It's been beautiful and has kept me joyful and centred. - Mandira Bedi"

Mumbai, Jan 21

Actress and television presenter Mandira Bedi has taken a 21-day mannat of gratitude, choosing to visit the Gurudwara every single day, even on days when her calendar is tight.

What makes the mannat stand out is that it isn't tied to a strict routine. Mandira isn't following a fixed time slot or treating it like a scheduled task; the focus is simply on showing up every day, regardless of how busy the day looks.

Sharing her thoughts, Mandira said, "I made a 21-day mannat to begin 2026 on a note of gratitude.. by visiting the Gurudwara every day. It doesn't have to be at a fixed time. What matters is showing up. Everyday.

She added: "Even while travelling for work, like in Udaipur, where I went in between two events, it was a challenge, but I've managed to keep that promise. So far, it's been beautiful and has kept me joyful and centred."

Mandira gained recognition by playing the title role in the 1994 television show, Shanti, which was telecast on India's national channel, Doordarshan. In 2019, she played a negative role in the movie Saaho.

She has also appeared in many Hindi TV serials like Aurat, Dushman, and Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. Following this, she began hosting ICC Cricket World Cups in 2003 and 2007, Champions Trophies in 2004 and 2006, and the Indian Premier League.

In 2025, she was seen on the big screen in Identity, a Malayalam-language action thriller film starring Tovino Thomas, Trisha Krishnan, and Vinay Rai.

On the small screen, she was seen in the OTT series The Railway Men: The Untold Story of Bhopal 1984, a historical disaster thriller television miniseries about railway workers who saved many lives during the 1984 toxic gas leak at the chemical company Union Carbide India Limited's plant in Bhopal. It stars R. Madhavan, Kay Kay Menon, Divyenndu, Babil Khan, and Juhi Chawla.

Respect for her commitment. Visiting a Gurudwara daily, especially while travelling for shoots, requires real dedication. The langar and peaceful atmosphere there can truly centre anyone. More power to her!

I appreciate the message, but it feels a bit performative when shared so publicly. True gratitude is often a private matter. That said, if it inspires others to be thankful, maybe it's a good thing.

As someone who has lived in India, I find this beautiful. The concept of a 'mannat' or vow is so culturally rich. It's not about the religion of the place, but the act of showing up with a thankful heart.

From Shanti to hosting cricket! She's had such a versatile career. Good to see her finding peace and joy in spirituality now. The Gurudwara is a perfect place for that – always welcoming to all.

The key takeaway for me is "it doesn't have to be at a fixed time." We often use our busy schedules as an excuse. She's showing that if the intent is there, you can always make time. Food for thought!
