Priyanka Chopra offers prayers, 'Seva' at Golden Temple
Amritsar, March 31
Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra offered prayers at the Golden Temple in Amritsar on Tuesday. She also participated in Seva along with other devotees.
Priyanka, who spends most of her time in the foreign soil, arrived at Golden Temple to bow her head in reverence at Sachkhand Sri Darbar Sahib. After paying her respects at the Guru's abode, Chopra listened to the Gurbani Kirtan with deep devotion.
While her arrival sparked a palpable excitement among the congregation, she performed her Darshan with utmost simplicity and humility. After paying her respects at Darbar Sahib, Priyanka Chopra also participated in Seva by washing soiled utensils in the Parikrama (circumambulatory path).
Earlier, actor Priyanka Chopra shared a visually indulgent post featuring a traditional North Indian thali. The image captured a quintessential Punjabi meal, offering a glimpse into the region's celebrated food culture. At the centre of the platter are two golden-brown Amritsari kulchas, likely stuffed with spiced potatoes or paneer and baked in a tandoor.
Accompanying them are small bowls of dal makhani and chole, staples of Punjabi cuisine, along with sides of yogurt, butter, pickled onions with green chilies. Adding to the cultural mood, the story is set to the song 'Sohni Lagdi' by Diljit Dosanjh.
The food post comes amid 'The Bluff' actor ongoing visit to India, which has already sparked curiosity among fans.On March 26, she documented her journey from New Delhi to Amritsar via a digital flight map shared on Instagram Stories.
She also posted short clips of Punjab's lush green farmlands, filmed from her window seat.Before heading to Amritsar, the actor was spotted at the Delhi airport interacting with fans and posing for photograph.
This India visit follows her recent work on the film 'The Bluff' and comes ahead of her much-anticipated collaboration with filmmaker S. S. Rajamouli for the upcoming project 'Varanasi', which is expected to release in 2027.

The Golden Temple is such a serene place. Good on her for taking the time for spiritual reflection amidst her busy schedule. The thali she posted looks absolutely delicious too!
Honestly, feels a bit like a PR visit before her Bollywood comeback with Rajamouli. But hey, if it brings positive attention to our culture and the beautiful concept of langar seva, it's still a good thing. 🙏
Waheguru! The picture of the Amritsari kulcha has me craving a proper Punjabi meal now. More than the celebrity angle, I love how this highlights the peace and equality at Harmandir Sahib. Everyone is welcome, everyone does seva.
As someone who visited Amritsar last year, this brings back wonderful memories. The langar is an incredible experience of community service. It's great she participated authentically.
Chalo, at least she's promoting our dharamsthal and food to a global audience. Better than some other celebrities who completely forget where they came from. All the best for 'Varanasi'!
