MUMBAI: Actress Shweta Tripathi, who is currently shooting in Benaras for the movie adaptation of “Mirzapur: The Movie”, performed the aarti and puja at the sacred Ganga Ghat.
Shweta shared: “Benaras… this city keeps calling me back. I’ve been coming here since the time of Masaan. My Nana studied at BHU, my mother wore a Benarasi lehenga for her wedding, and in so many ways, this city is intertwined with my life.”
“Even my trainer, Tridev Pandey, is from here. Mirzapur too has its roots in this region, and all of this makes Benaras feel like home to my heart. I love the food, the relaxed pace of life, the taste of kadak kulhad chai, and the simplicity of the people. These days, even the weather feels like it’s welcoming us with open arms, ” she said.
