In the midst of modern life, many turn to spirituality for solace and purpose. Amidst the serene landscape of Uttarakhand lies Chaurasi Kutia Ashram, famously known as the Beatles ashram where the band sought enlightenment under the guidance of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in 1968. Today, celebrities such as Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli blend fame with spiritual pursuits, embodying a deeper connection to inner peace.
Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli
In modern India, Anushka Sharma stands out at the intersection of fame and spirituality. Last March, she shared an Instagram post with American vocalist and spiritual author Krishna Das, expressing her connection to Neem Karoli Baba and the transformative power of chanting. Her caption read, “Chanting takes me to a space of inner love. For me, it is my guru Neem Karoli Baba… I’m not trying to sell you anything. There is no group to join. We are already in it. It’s called ‘Humanity.'”
Anushka’s spiritual journey is intertwined with her personal life. In March 2023, she and her husband, cricketer Virat Kohli, visited the Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain, followed by a trip to Rishikesh and Vrindavan with their daughter Vamika. The couple’s spiritual quest also included visits to Baba Neem Karoli Ashram and Swami Dayanand Ashram, highlighting their deep-rooted spiritual connection.
Additionally, Virat Kohli, known for his aggressive style of cricket, has also undergone a notable transformation by embracing spirituality. Content creator Raj Shamani recently highlighted the change as part of Kohli’s “personal brand,” suggesting that spirituality often transcends material pursuits and personal ambitions.
Shahid Kapoor
Shahid Kapoor is another Bollywood star who takes spirituality very seriously. He first met his wife Mira Rajput Kapoor through the spiritual organisation Radha Soami Satsang Beas. Their shared faith is the cornerstone of their relationship. Speaking to Karan Johar, Mira said, “Spiritual path and faith are very important to us. We both have a deep respect for that and for each other.”
Tamannaah Bhatia
Tamannaah Bhatia, a star who works in both Bollywood and South Indian film industries, has also embraced spirituality. After initiating Sadhguru’s Isha Foundation in 2023, she described the experience as transformative and addictive. Reflecting on her own spiritual journey, she said, “I was 13 years old and the first thing I wrote in my diary was, ‘Who am I?’ When you start working in films and gain fame, a certain part of you is fulfilled but the question always remains.”
