Shahid Kapoor is currently basking in the success of his latest release, Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, co-starring Kriti Sanon. The Kabir Singh actor discussed embracing a “spiritual journey” during a phase of uncertainty in his life. Sharing insights into his affiliation with the Radha Soami faith, Shahid opened up about his connection with it in a recent interview.
Shahid Kapoor’s take on spirituality
In the latest interview with Quint Neon, Shahid Kapoor was questioned about a pivotal moment in his life, and he promptly referred to the Radha Soami organization. He stated, “It is my spiritual path. I always had a spiritual leaning. I was always very curious about life, about the source of life, about why we are here, what’s the point of it all, and I was very lost because I didn’t have any answers, so I couldn’t make sense of anything.”
Shahid added, “I follow the Radha Soami path. I really connected with it, and I think that helped me set context to everything. I think that helped me understand things much better and understand myself better. And I think, amongst other things, like being an actor and being a parent, and being a child, I am actually on the quest of finding myself and my relationship with God.”
