In the glitzy world of television, where co-stars often form fleeting bonds, the friendship between Ankit Gupta and Abhishek Kumar from the popular serial ‘Udaariyaan’ stands out as something truly special. What began as on-set camaraderie has blossomed into a profound brotherhood, marked by shared spiritual journeys across India’s sacred sites.
The duo recently achieved a significant milestone by completing darshan of the eighth Jyotirlinga, one of the 12 revered self-manifested shrines of Lord Shiva. Abhishek shared a heartwarming photo on Instagram, capturing the two actors standing reverently in front of the temple, their faces glowing with devotion.
‘Today, we have completed darshan of our 8 Jyotirlingas. Truly, whenever Mahadev calls, we find ourselves drawn to Him. The experience here is beyond words. If you haven’t visited yet, make sure to go for darshan. Jai Sanatan Dharma. Har Har Mahadev,’ Abhishek captioned the post, urging fans to embark on their own pilgrimages.
Fans flooded the comments with congratulations and admiration, calling the journey inspirational. Many expressed their intent to visit the Jyotirlingas themselves, inspired by the actors’ dedication.
This isn’t a sudden adventure; their spiritual odyssey has been ongoing, ticking off one sacred site after another. Beyond faith, their bond has professional roots too. Ankit has been a mentor to Abhishek, guiding his career and even encouraging his participation in Bigg Boss 17, providing unwavering support throughout.
Social media is rife with instances of them praising each other, treating one another like family. In an industry often criticized for superficial relationships, Ankit and Abhishek’s story is a refreshing reminder of genuine camaraderie forged in shared values and devotion.
