She said, "I'm glad that this year my birthday falls on an auspicious day of Mauni Amavasya, it is regarded as a fortunate period for spiritual rejuvenation and self-purification. Prayagraj holds immense spiritual significance due to its mythological roots and geography. It is home to the Triveni Sangam, the sacred confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati rivers, revered as one of the holiest sites. The Kumbh Mela follows a 12-year cycle based on the celestial positions of the Sun, Moon, and Jupiter. And this year is very special as we are celebrating Mahakumbh, The Amrit snaan, so I planned to celebrate my birthday here, everything seemed so planned. I'm thankful to the universe for making everything fall into place and guiding me to enjoy my special day."

Talking ahead she continued, "I don't see it just a coincidence, it is a blessing surely. The 2025 Maha Kumbh at Prayagraj is especially rare, occurring once every 144 years. This unique alignment is believed to make it an exceptionally auspicious time for prayers and rituals. And the royal bath is happening today, on my birthday. Among the crores of pilgrims here to take a holy dip in the rivers, making a way wasn't really easy. But I enjoyed the morning hours itself. I'm amazed. I'm here seeking purification and moksha (liberation). Beyond its religious significance, the Kumbh Mela reflects India's rich cultural heritage, uniting millions in a grand celebration of faith, devotion, and harmony."



Amrita was last seen playing a Naagin in the show, 'Phir Laut Aayi Naagin'.
