Filmmaker Farah Khan recently visited Baba Ramdev's ashram in Haridwar for her YouTube cooking vlog, resulting in a humorous and insightful exchange between the two personalities. During the visit, Farah toured the expansive Patanjali campus, including meditation centers, guest cottages, and scenic spots designed for spiritual well-being. Baba Ramdev proudly showcased the facilities, remarking on the contrast between the "palaces" built for guests and his own simple living quarters.

It was during this tour that Farah Khan drew a comparison between Baba Ramdev and Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. With her signature wit, Farah quipped, "So you and Salman Khan are the same. He also lives in a 1BHK and has built palaces for everyone else". This playful comparison sparked laughter, with Baba Ramdev nodding in agreement.

The conversation continued in a lighthearted vein, with Farah joking about Baba Ramdev's youthful appearance and vitality, and even suggesting he try his luck in Bollywood. Amused by the idea, Baba Ramdev replied in jest, "Oh, God, I've left an entire empire for you to rule".

Farah's visit provided a glimpse into Baba Ramdev's simple lifestyle despite his vast empire. She admired his unique "jhopdi" (hut) built from Jodhpur stones, noting its grandeur. Baba Ramdev explained that it was made without chemicals. He also revealed that despite the comforts available, he prefers to sleep on a simple mat on the floor, a practice he has maintained for 30 years. He shared that he wakes up at 3 a.m. and dedicates 10-12 hours to meditation.

Baba Ramdev's daily routine reflects his commitment to a healthy and holistic lifestyle. He starts his day with prayers, warm water, and meditation. He also practices yoga and pranayam daily, emphasizing the importance of breathing exercises like kapalbhati and anulom vilom for overall well-being. Furthermore, he follows a sattvic diet, consisting of fresh, natural, and plant-based foods, avoiding processed foods and additives. He eats only once a day.

Salman Khan, on the other hand, is known for his successful acting career, television appearances, and promotion of humanitarian causes through his Being Human Foundation. While he owns a lavish home in Mumbai and a sea-facing bungalow in Gorai, Farah Khan's comment alluded to a perception that he maintains a relatively simple personal space despite his ability to afford more extravagant accommodations. Salman's lifestyle includes a collection of luxury cars and a busy filming schedule. He has faced controversies and legal troubles.

Baba Ramdev's journey to global influence is rooted in simple living, healthy habits, and promoting traditional Indian knowledge. He rose to prominence through televised yoga sessions and co-founded Patanjali Yogpeeth and Patanjali Ayurved Ltd. His emphasis on Ayurveda, yoga, and Indian health systems has resonated with millions, making Patanjali a trusted brand.
