Farah Khan recently embarked on her first-ever trip to Rishikesh, a journey that included attending the Ganga Aarti. The filmmaker and choreographer, known for her dynamic personality and engaging social media presence, shared her spiritual experience with her fans, offering glimpses of the divine ritual on Instagram.
Khan's visit to Rishikesh wasn't a solo endeavor; she was accompanied by her cook, Dilip, with whom she has gained considerable popularity for their fun-filled YouTube vlogs. The duo, who previously explored the Maldives for their travel vlog, chose Rishikesh as their next destination, adding a spiritual dimension to their adventures.
Farah's manager, Kalp Shah, also joined them and shared several photos on Instagram, capturing moments from their visit. One picture showed Farah seated with her head covered by a dupatta, her hands folded in prayer, as she immersed herself in the serene atmosphere of the Ganga Aarti. Dilip and Kalp were seated behind her, also taking in the spiritual ambiance. Another photo showed Farah participating in the Aarti ritual, a moment that highlighted her engagement with the sacred tradition.
Expressing her feelings about the trip, Farah commented on Kalp's post, "It was truly a magical experience… may all your prayers be answered, Kalp… n more". She also shared a short video on her Instagram Story, adding, "First time Rishikesh and what an experience".
The Ganga Aarti at Parmarth Niketan was a grand spectacle, featuring a massive idol of Lord Shiva in the middle of the river and devotional bhajans resonating on the banks. Farah expressed her gratitude to Swami Ramdev, Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswati, and Deepak Parmarth for their warm welcome and kind hearts. Following the Aarti, a refreshing rain shower added to the divine experience, which Farah described as a blessing.
Beyond the spiritual experience, Farah and Dilip's Rishikesh trip included a visit to Patanjali Yogpeeth in Haridwar, where they met with Baba Ramdev. The duo's YouTube journey, which began with cooking vlogs, has evolved into travel vlogs, showcasing their unique bond and entertaining their fans with their camaraderie and adventures. Recently, they filmed a special episode with Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, Ranbir Kapoor's sister, and even shot with Ashneer Grover.
Farah also announced the upcoming YouTube FanFest 2025, teasing fans about the star-studded lineup in a quirky Instagram video featuring Dilip.
