Sara Ali Khan trends on Twitter for her visit to Baba Barfani Mandir in Amarnath

Actress Sara Ali Khan on Saturday posted a reel on Instagram about her visit to Baba Barfani Mandir in Amarnath. She can be seen wearing a blue tracksuit with a white cap during her yatra to the Amarnath temple. She was also seen ringing the temple bell at the entrance and posing with a trishul (trident) while covering her head with a dupatta.

Sara captioned it along with her Reel "Jai Baba Barfani" along with a hand, mountain and trident emoji. The reel showed her on her way to the Amarnath temple in the valley. In the video, he is seen saying, “Namaste darshako. Humari Amarnath yatra ab prarambh ho chuki hai. Bahut sare yatri aaye hain darshan karne. Wo rahi Amarnath ki gufa. Toh chalo karte hain humari yatra bhi. Thank you ji.” (Greetings viewers. Our trip to Amarnath has started. There are many devotees here. There is Amarnath cave. So let's start our journey as well). It was followed by chants of 'Har Har Mahadev'.

"Namo Namo", a song by Amit Trivedi from Sara's debut film Kedarnath, is also heard in the background. In Abhishek Kapoor's 2018 romantic film, she played a Hindu devotee in the pilgrimage state of Kedarnath, and the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput played a Muslim pitthu (flunky) who accompanied her to the temple.

While many praised Sara for her secular beliefs, some quarters pointed out that it was a publicity stunt. A Twitter user posted Sara's Reel on Twitter and wrote, “Sara Ali Khan visited Baba Barfani Amarnath ji. And gave another chance to the so-called secular Abduls to hate her. Now his Instagram is full of hateful comments and abuse. Long live secularism.”
