Katrina Kaif Avoids Taking Full Dip At Mahakumbh; Netizens Question Her Privilege

Twitter

Mumbai: Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif recently visited Prayagraj to take part in the holy ritual at the Mahakumbh Mela along with her mother-in-law Veena Kaushal. A video of her taking a dip in the sacred waters has gone viral, sparking mixed reactions from netizens.

In the clip, Katrina can be seen carefully immersing herself in the river along with her mother-in-law Veena Kaushal, while maintaining a partial dip instead of a full submersion. While some fans appreciated her devotion, others pointed out that she did not fully follow the traditional practice, which requires complete immersion.

Social media users were quick to react, with some questioning whether celebrities receive special treatment during such religious events. One user commented, “If common devotees are required to take a full dip, why not her? Privilege speaks.” Another wrote, “Why come for the ritual if you’re not going to follow it properly?” However, her fans defended her, stating that religious practices are a personal choice and should not be judged.
