Actor Shahid Kapoor, who can currently be seen in the film Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, recently opened up about going down a “spiritual path” when he felt most directionless in life. Shahid is a follower of the Radha Soami faith, and in a new interview, he spoke about how he became associated with it.

In a chat with Quint Neon, Shahid was asked about an incident that shaped up his life, and he immediately spoke about the Radha Soami organisation. “It is my spiritual path. I always had a spiritual leaning. I always was very curious about life, about the source of life, about why we are here, what’s the point of it all, and I was very lost because I didn’t have any answers so I couldn’t make sense of anything,” he said.

Shahid continued, “I follow the Radha Soami path. I really connected with it, and I think that helped me set context to everything. I think that helped me understand things much better, understand myself better. And I think, amongst other things, like being an actor and being a parent, and being a child, I am actually on the quest of finding myself and my relationship with God.”
