Actor Sara Ali Khan shared on her Instagram on Saturday about her visit to the holy Baba Barfani Mandir in Amarnath. She was wearing a blue colored tracksuit, and a white cap for her yatra to the sacred temple. In another shot she covered her head and posed with a trishul (trident).
Sara captioned “Jai Baba Barfani,” with emotions of joining hands, a mountain and trident. In a voiceover she says, “Namaste darshako. Humari Amarnath yatra ab prarambh ho chuki hai. Bahut sare yatri aaye hain darshan karne. Wo rahi Amarnath ki gufa. Toh chalo karte hain humari yatra bhi. Thank you ji” (Greetings viewers. Our Amarnath trip has started. There are a lot of devotees here. There’s the Amarnath cave. So let’s start our journey too).
Twitter had mixed reactions to Sara’s Amarnath trip. A user tweeted, “Sara Ali Khan visited Baba Barfani Amarnath ji. And gave another chance to the so called secular Abduls to hate her. Now his Instagram is full of hateful comments and abuses. Long live secularism.”
Another tweeted, “Movie promotion ke liye kar rahee hai..” (she’s doing it to promote her movie), to which someone replied, “Koi movie ni arahi uski. Aur koi crew nahi hai. Wo har jyotirling ke darshan karne jati rehti hai. Koi movie ho ya na ho (She visits and worships every Jyotirling, whether there’s a movie coming up or not).”
Another pointed out, “She knows the market really well,” while a user reacted to her Instagram post, “She is a daughter of interfaith and I like for the fact that she respects both equally and is not biased, she is blessed. It’s not easy to mentally balance between 2 faiths. In Islam yes we only believe in Allah and no one. But as conflicting as it is, the fact that she has faith just pure faith and she is committed that’s the main thing.”
