In a moment of pure spirituality, ‘Shaitaan’ fame actress Janki Bodiwala stepped into the hallowed grounds of Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain. The 22nd of April marked her devout visit, where she joined the iconic Bhasm Aarti amid a sea of chanting devotees.
The air reverberated with fervent slogans as Janki, primarily a Gujarati film star, paid homage. She meditated by Nandi Maharaj, confiding her deepest desires in the sacred bull’s ears before the powerful rituals commenced.
Reflecting on the visit, Janki expressed, ‘Describing Mahakal Baba’s darshan is impossible—it’s an emotion that resides in the heart. The experience today was divine, and I’m grateful to all who facilitated it. May Baba summon me again and again.’
From her debut in the smash-hit ‘Chhelo Divas’ to acclaimed roles in ‘Naadi Dosha’ and the gripping ‘Vash’, Janki’s transition to Bollywood via ‘Shaitaan’ has been meteoric. Retaining her lead role in the remake, she embodies a girl under vashikaran’s spell. The franchise’s next chapter, ‘Vash Level-2’, promises more intensity with its ensemble cast and visionary direction.
This pilgrimage underscores Janki’s grounded persona, as she emerges blessed and inspired from one of India’s most revered Jyotirlingas.
