"Sonu Sood and his son were seen dressed in a white veshti - Report"

Tirupati, April 15

Actor Sonu Sood offered prayers at the Tirumala Venkateswara Temple during the sacred Thomala Seva on Wednesday.

The actor was accompanied by his wife, Sonali, and son Ishant as they participated in the early morning ritual dedicated to Lord Sri Venkateswara Swamy.

Sonu Sood and his son were seen dressed in a white veshti (dhoti), an unstitched garment widely worn in South India for religious occasions. Draped over their bare torsos were vibrant red-and-gold angavastrams. Both also wore a sacred thread, known as Kalawa or Mauli, tied around their wrists.

Sonali Sood complemented the traditional setting in an elegant emerald green saree, featuring a gold zari border.

The Tirumala shrine also witnessed visits from other prominent personalities. Film actress Samyuktha Menon offered prayers dressed in an off-white saree.

Meanwhile, former Indian cricket captain Mithali Raj participated in the Thomala Seva rituals, while Indian badminton player Srikanth Kidambi visited the temple along with his wife to seek blessings.

Situated atop the seventh peak of the Seshachalam Hills in Andhra Pradesh, the Tirumala Venkateswara Temple is dedicated to Lord Venkateswara, also known as Balaji. The centuries-old shrine remains one of the most visited religious sites in the country, attracting millions of devotees annually from India and abroad.

Nice to see them respecting the temple dress code properly with veshti and angavastram. Many visitors don't follow it these days. Good example set by a public figure.

While it's great they are devotees, I sometimes feel these visits get more coverage than the thousands of common people who wait for hours in line with equal faith. The media focus is always on the famous faces.

Thomala Seva is such a beautiful and sacred ritual. Glad to know Mithali Raj and Srikanth Kidambi were also there! It's like a who's who of good-hearted celebrities at Tirumala today. Jai Balaji! 🛕

As someone from Andhra, it feels good when people from other regions embrace our traditions with such sincerity. Sonu Sood wearing the veshti correctly shows respect. His wife's saree sounds lovely too!

The temple is a place of peace for everyone. Whether you're a star or a regular person, the divine blessings are the same. Hope their visit inspires more people to go, but please remember to book slots online to avoid the rush!
