Preity Zinta visits Kashi Vishwanath Temple in Varanasi with her mother.
After visiting the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj, Preity Zinta accompanied her mother Nilprabha Zinta on another pilgrimage, Kashi Vishwanath Temple in Varanasi. The actor wrote in detail about her “adventurous” trip and how they walked to the temple, and travelled in rickshaws amid the “crazy crowd”. She further added that though they couldn’t avail any VIP facilities, it didn’t matter to them because their trip was so good.
Preity dropped a video from her pilgrimage. “What an adventure this trip has been. Mom wanted to wrap up our Mahakumbh trip in Varanasi for Shivratri. So I told her, of course ma, let’s go,” she wrote.
She then described her journey to the temple, “Once we got there we found out that due to heavy crowds, cars were not allowed & roads were blocked after a point, so people could walk & do darshan at the Kashi Vishwanath temple. We decided we will go for it. From sitting in a car to an auto rickshaw to a cycle rickshaw we did it all & more, as we walked forever in crazy crowds.”
The Soldier actor also listed down her observations and praised the Varanasi crowd. She wrote, “The crowd in Varanasi was very decent. Never did I encounter anything negative and, people are essentially good. Even though the trip took us hours we never felt it, thanks to the power of faith & the collective energy of the people around.”
Preity then expressed her gratitude to see her mother glowing with happiness after visiting the temple. “Looking at her I realised that the greatest seva is not towards god but towards our parents. Sadly we only realise their value, once we become parents. Even though she initiated this entire trip the calling was mine – she was just the excuse,” she added.
“We reached at midnight & saw the midnight Arti. It was for a few seconds as no VIP services were available but it didn’t matter,” she further posted.

Preity ended her note by mentioning that more than the destination, it’s the journey that is important. She added the two precious gifts she received on her way back – Mahadev’s blessings and her mother’s “shining smile”.
