Veteran Bollywood actor Anupam Kher took a holy dip in the Triveni Sangam at the ongoing Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj on Wednesday (January 22). On social media, the actor shared a video and shared his experience of taking the holy dip for the first time in his life.
The 69-year-old actor revealed that he chanted mantras while offering his prayers. He also stated that he got emotional and tears rolled down as he took the holy dip.
Giving a glimpse of it, he also mentioned in the caption of his post that his life has become 'successful' now.
"Taking a holy dip in the Ganga during the Mahakumbh made life feel fulfilled. For the first time, I reached the sacred confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati and chanted mantras. Tears flowed from my eyes naturally as I prayed. What a coincidence... The same happened exactly a year ago on this day during the consecration ceremony in Ayodhya," he wrote along with the video.
