Esha Gupta’s Views on Mahakumbh
In a video shared by IANS, Esha addressed her presence at Mahakumbh, emphasizing her spiritual connection over her Bollywood identity. “Bollywood actors ka kaam nahi hai ke woh auron pe tipanni dein, toh main nahi dena chahungi. Bollywood actors ka kaam hai acting karna. Main yaha pe Bollywood actor ke haisiyat se nahi aayi hoon,” she stated. She further elaborated, “Main yaha Sanatan Dharam ke haisiyat se aayi hoon, ek beti aur ek Bharatiya ke taur par aayi hoon.” Encouraging people to attend, she added, “Chahe dharam ke liye aaye ya karam ke liye aaye, par aaye zaroor.”
