Mumbai- Actress Jacqueline Fernandez recently took a short break from her busy schedule to visit the sacred city of Varanasi.
During her visit, the actress appeared to engage in spiritual activities and reportedly offered prayers. Giving fans a glimpse of her devotional side, Jacqueline shared a selfie on social media while sitting in a car. She was seen dressed in a blush-pink salwar kameez with subtle makeup, striking a pout for the camera. She captioned the picture “Varanasi” along with a white heart emoji.
A chandan tilak visible on her forehead suggested that she had visited a temple. Although the exact temple she visited remains unknown, Varanasi is a major pilgrimage destination, attracting devotees who attend the renowned Ganga Aarti and seek blessings from Lord Shiva.
Apart from her spiritual experience, Jacqueline also enjoyed local street food during her trip. In another photo shared online, she was seen holding a plate of Aloo tikki, a popular chaat delicacy.
