Priyanka Chopra’s barefoot
pilgrimage
15 Jun 2006
Bollywood beauty Priyanka
Chopra walked barefoot in the mountainous climb to the holy temple of Vaishno
Devi.
Priyanka made her arduous
pilgrimage to the temple in Jammu to pray for the good health of her father
and to express her gratitude for all the good things that have happened
to her.
Priyanka as saying: "it was
a sense of accumulated gratitude that took me to Vaishno Devi…And I wanted
it to happen before my father's next surgery. My father's illness was a
reason for the pilgrimage. So was the release of Krrish …Fortunately there
has been no end to things to be grateful for. I guess I had a lot to speak
to God about.”
Priyanka says she had been
thinking of making this pilgrimage for a long time but her work routine
kept her busy. And now that she was able to take off three days from the
schedule of Farhan Akhtar’s movie Don , she flew to Jammu to make the trip.
Accompanying Priyanka on
the three-day pilgrimage were her parents. While her parents flew to the
main temple via helicopter, Priyanka hauled herself through the arduous
climb.
"It was an awesome experience.
I felt so much at peace just walking up that hill. I feel a load off my
shoulder now," Priyanka says.
She now returns to resume
shooting for ‘Don’ in Malaysia.
