In an earlier interview with Curly Tales, Janhvi spoke about how she has found refuge in her religion in the past few years and how she has a special attachment to the Tirupati temple. She said, “In the past 5-6 years, I have become very spiritually inclined. I find refuge in my religion and my spirituality, and Lord Balaji specifically. Jab bulawa aata hai (I feel an inner calling) that tells me I need to visit Tirupati, climb the stairs, and seek the auspicious sight of the deity. I have already been to Tirupati three times this year, and I will go again on mom’s birthday.”
