Chris Martin, Dakota Johnson wanted to experience...: Sonali Bendre recalls her Babulnath Temple visit with Coldplay singer, Hollywood actress

Coldplay singer and actress explore spiritual side during Mumbai temple visit with Sonali Bendre

"Chris and Dakota wanted to have a temple experience. It was lovely. - Sonali Bendre"

New Delhi, June 7

British band Coldplay's lead vocalist, Chris Martin, came to India earlier this year and surprised his desi fans not only with his soulful concerts but also with his spiritual side.

Before his gigs at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on January 18 and 19, Chris, along with Hollywood actress Dakota Johnson, paid a sacred visit to the iconic Babulnath Temple. They were joined by Bollywood star Sonali Bendre and 'Swades' fame actress Gayatri Oberoi.

Several images and videos went viral in which Chris, Dakota, Sonali and Gayatri were seen offering prayers. Dakota and Chris, who have now reportedly parted ways, embraced Indian culture with full devotion.

Sonali and Gayatri also accompanied Dakota to the iconic Siddhivinayak Temple in Mumbai back in January. Dressed in traditional attire, the trio appeared to be in high spirits, engaging in a lively conversation as they made their way through the temple grounds.

Recalling meeting Chris and Dakota, Sonali in an Interview with ANI, shared, " She's (Dakota) such a lovely person. It was my yoga teacher who told me that, you know what, somebody is coming in and they want to be taken to a few temples. Will you do this? I'm like, okay, who is it? And that's how I get to know. So I think Chris and her (Dakota) wanted to have a temple experience. And I think that's an experience everybody should have at some point. It was lovely. With her (and Chris), the night before everybody got to know we had visited Babulnath Temple. And then the next day, we visited Siddhivinayak Temple."

Meanwhile, Chris and Dakota recently made headlines with their alleged break-up. A source informed US-based magazine PEOPLE about their split.

"It feels final this time," one source said of the split. Reps for the stars did not respond to PEOPLE's requests for comment.

In March 2024, an insider told PEOPLE that Johnson and Martin had actually been engaged for "years" after first sparking engagement rumours in 2020, though they were "in no rush to get married" at the time.

When breakup rumors surfaced in August 2024, a rep for the actress shut down the reports and said the pair were "happily together." Around the same time, a source said, "Sure, they've had issues and taken breaks in the past, but things are great now. They both love their careers. They are balancing things the best they can."

Prior to that, a source said in June 2024 that Johnson and Martin, who mostly kept their relationship private, had their "ups and downs, but now they're definitely back on."

Chris and Dakota have not addressed their separation rumours yet.

So heartwarming to see international celebrities embracing our culture with such respect! 🙏 Chris and Dakota's temple visits show how India's spiritual heritage transcends borders. Hope they took back some peace from Babulnath Temple.

While I appreciate their interest in Indian culture, I wish the media wouldn't focus so much on celebrity relationships. The spiritual aspect of their visit is what truly matters. Sonali Bendre handled this so gracefully!

Coldplay's Mumbai concert was epic! Now knowing Chris visited our temples makes me respect him even more. Foreign celebrities who show genuine interest in India beyond just shooting movies here deserve our appreciation.

The pictures of Dakota in traditional Indian wear were stunning! 😍 It's nice when visitors dress appropriately for temples instead of treating them like tourist spots. More power to Sonali for introducing them to our customs properly.

Why is the article mixing their spiritual journey with breakup rumors? Feels disrespectful to the sanctity of the temples they visited. The media should maintain some boundaries when reporting about personal lives.
