Bollywood superstars Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif took a holy dip in Sangam at the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj on Monday.
Lauding the management of the event, Kumar said he had also visited Maha Kumbh Mela in 2019 and there has been a massive improvement in the arrangements this time around.
"It was an incredible experience. The management this time is outstanding, and I sincerely thank Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. In 2019, there were some challenges, but this year, everything is remarkably well-organised," he said.
"The arrangements for the Maha Kumbh are very good and I would like to thank with folded hands all the police personnel and the workers who have taken so much care of everyone," the 57-year-old actor added.
During her visit, Kaif met Swami Chidanand Saraswati, president of Parmarth Niketan Ashram, and Sadhvi Bhagwati Saraswati where she was presented with a Lord Shiva idol and a Rudraksha plant.
The actress expressed her gratitude and excitement about being part of the sacred event.
"I am very fortunate that I could come here this time. I am really happy and grateful. I met Swami Chidanand Saraswati and took his blessings. I am just starting my experience here. I like the energy, beauty, and significance of everything. I am looking forward to spending the whole day here," she said.
On February 13, Katrina's husband and actor Vicky Kaushal visited Maha Kumbh, ahead of release of his film 'Chhaava'.
Actress Sonali Bendre also arrived in Prayagraj with her family to be part of Maha Kumbh and took a holy dip at Sangam.
She described her experience as deeply "fulfilling" and added that she felt immense peace and positive energy in the sacred atmosphere of Maha Kumbh.
Maha Kumbh Mela began on January 13 and will conclude on February 26. Many celebrities have attended the event including Vicky Kaushal, Sonali Bendre, Vijay Deverakonda and others.
