The
spiritual and pious nature of Aishwarya
Rai is well known to people. In fact if
she is in Mumbai, you can spot her in
the wee hours at the Siddhi Vinayak temple.
Though she would like to come and pray
along with the public, her celebrity status
does not permit her to indulge in such
niceties of life.
As
they say, everything has a price and
in this case it is very high. The
commonest of commonest things that
an ordinary person enjoys would be
a distant dream for these people.
In a different perspective they are
surely in an unenviable spot.
Recently she was spotted at the Ramakrishna
Mutt at Santa Cruz on the day of Vijayadasami.
As it is customary for her these days
to move around with security guards,
she visited the temple also along
with them. She entered the temple
in a simple pair of jeans and a white
shirt just like any other devotee.
She
went directly to the front row and appeared
totally at peace with herself with the
prayers. She was found seated there till
the end of the rituals and when people
started coming in, she slowly moved out.
Whatever be her prayers, let us hope they
are all answered.
