Hina Khan's recent immersion in the Art of Living experience at its Bengaluru Ashram has seemingly marked a significant chapter in her life, contributing to her well-being amid her ongoing battle with breast cancer. The actress, known for her roles in "Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai" and "Bigg Boss," took a break from her hectic schedule to seek rejuvenation and spiritual alignment at the ashram.
Khan openly shared her transformative journey on social media, expressing profound gratitude to Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and the Art of Living Foundation. She highlighted the retreat's role in helping her reconnect with her inner self, embrace peace, and release old patterns. She described it as a "Path Changing, Soul Awakening, Mind Rejuvenating" experience and emphasized the importance of such retreats for all individuals.
During her time at the Art of Living Ashram, Hina explored various practices, including breath control techniques (like Sudarshan Kriya), mindfulness exercises, and meditation. She noted that yoga helped her connect with the universal power within and to join in unison with the Conscious, Subconscious and Metaconscious. These techniques are designed to foster inner peace, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being. She learned how to meditate and activate her inner peace and power and unlearned old ways and undid old shackles. Hina also expressed her commitment to continuing the practice of breath work every day.
The actress also noted that the ashram offered processes like the Sudarshan Kriya, Sehej Samadhi, and Intuition Program. These experiences brought her closer to both nature and herself. She experienced various life-enhancing therapies.
Hina attended the retreat with her partner, Rocky Jaiswal, along with other celebrities like Vikrant Massey, his wife Sheetal Thakur, their son, and Dr. Madhu Chopra. She emphasized how everyone had different reasons for being there, but they came together like a big family, learning, growing, and becoming friends. She also thanked her close friend Neetu Mahaveer Jain for encouraging her to attend the retreat.
In 2024, Hina revealed her diagnosis of breast cancer. Choosing transparency, she has kept her followers informed, spreading awareness and strength by documenting her journey through treatment, self-care, and healing. Amid her recovery, this spiritual detour to the Art of Living represents a proactive step towards holistic wellness, integrating mental and emotional rejuvenation with her physical treatment.
Vikrant Massey's presence at the retreat was particularly noteworthy, given his upcoming role as Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in the film "White." The retreat seemingly provided him with valuable insights into the spiritual leader's teachings and philosophy, aiding in his preparation for the role.
Hina's experience underscores the potential of spiritual retreats and mindfulness practices to positively impact individuals facing personal challenges. By sharing her journey, she inspires others to explore similar avenues for finding inner peace, resilience, and overall well-being, especially while navigating health battles or stressful life events. She encouraged others to experience the change for themselves.
