Maha Shivratri was observed on February 26 with utmost joy and thunder. Bollywood and television stars also celebrated the occasion by offering prayers and seeking the blessings of Lord Shiva. Many celebrities have shared glimpses of their festivities. In case you missed it, actor and Bigg Boss 16 fame Shalin Bhanot took to his social media and gave a sneak peek into his Maha Shivratri celebrations.
The actor visited a temple in Mumbai to celebrate the auspicious occasion and seek the blessings of Lord Shiva. In the clip shared on Instagram, Shalin was seen stepping out of his car and heading towards the temple. Dressed in a traditional white kurta, the star paused for the paparazzi as they clicked some pictures of him. He then stepped into the temple with his sister.
After performing the rituals, Shaleen spoke to the media and extended heartfelt wishes on the day. During the media interaction, Shalin explained the significance of Maha Shivratri and elaborated on the mythological tale surrounding this sacred festival.
In a conversation with The Times Of India, he recalled Lord Shiva arriving at the wedding with his fierce and wild attendants, the Ganas. When Goddess Parvati’s family saw Lord Shiva’s unusual appearance and the threatening demeanour of his entourage, they were filled with doubts and fear. Goddess Parvati, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, recognising Lord Shiva’s true character beneath his outward appearance. She stayed firm in her decision and accepted Lord Shiva for who he was.
He concluded by saying that this acceptance is a vital lesson in life. “When faced with challenges or unexpected situations, it’s essential to accept them peacefully. Only then can we receive blessings,” Shalin said.
On the professional front, Shalin Bhanot first participated in Roadies Season 2. Since then, he appeared in several reality shows, including Nach Baliye 2, Bigg Boss 16, and Khatron Ke Khiladi 14. Other than reality shows, the actor has been part of several TV serials, including Naagin 4, Bekaboo, Suryaputra Karn, Laal Ishq, Ram Siya Ke Luv Kush and others.
