Actor Tarun Khanna is celebrating a deeply meaningful birthday this year in the sacred city of Ujjain a place that holds immense spiritual significance and now, a special professional milestone in his life. Currently shooting for &TV’s upcoming divine dramedy Hey Bhagwaan – Kitna Badal Gaya Insaan!, Tarun couldn’t have asked for a more powerful setting to mark another year of his journey. Adding a divine touch to his celebrations, the actor will be visiting the revered Shri Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga Temple to seek blessings and take darshan at Mahakal. Given that he essays the role of Mahadev in the show, the experience feels especially surreal and profoundly personal.
Sharing his excitement, Tarun Khanna who will be seen playing Mahadev in Hey Bhagwaan – Kitna Badal Gaya Insaan! says, “This birthday feels extremely special perhaps one of the most memorable ones of my life. Celebrating it in Ujjain, the city of Mahakal, while portraying Mahadev on screen feels like a beautiful alignment of life and art. Visiting Mahakal for darshan during this time is not just a ritual, but an emotional and spiritual moment for me. There is a certain energy in Ujjain that is difficult to put into words. Waking up to temple bells, feeling the spiritual rhythm of the city, and knowing that I am here both as an actor and a devotee makes this birthday incredibly meaningful. It feels like a blessing in itself.”
Apart from fulfilling his professional commitments on the sets of Hey Bhagwaan – Kitna Badal Gaya Insaan!, Tarun Khanna is also planning to soak in the city’s old-world charm, “Between shoots, I am looking forward to exploring the ghats at sunrise, visiting local temples tucked away in narrow lanes, interacting with the people here and listening to their stories. I am especially excited to indulge in Ujjain’s delicious local delicacies from hot poha and jalebi in the morning to the street-side flavours the city is known for. Every city has its own flavour, but Ujjain offers devotion blended with warmth, simplicity, and a sense of timelessness. I want to truly pause, absorb the atmosphere, and celebrate this phase of my life with gratitude.”
