Rani was seen performing aarti inside the temple and later spoke to news agency ANI about her long-standing spiritual practice. The actor shared that visiting temples has become a habit whenever she travels for work, regardless of whether a film is releasing or not.

“I always come here for darshan. Whenever I go to any city—whether a film is releasing or not—I like to visit temples,” Rani said. Recalling her earlier visits, she added that she had visited the Dagdusheth Ganpati temple several times during the shooting of her 2011 film Aiyyaa.

With Mardaani 3 set to release later this month, Rani said she visited the temple to express gratitude rather than seek success. “My film is releasing soon, so I’ve come to seek blessings,” she said.

The actor further shared a heartfelt message, praying not just for her film but for the world at large. “I always pray for peace in the world and happiness for everyone. May Bappa remove the suffering of children and obstacles from people’s lives. Whether a film succeeds or not is in the hands of the audience. I come here to express gratitude,” she said.

Reflecting on her three-decade-long career, Rani added that her journey would not have been possible without divine blessings and audience support. “I’ve worked in this industry for 30 years, and this wouldn’t have been possible without Bappa’s blessings and the love of my audience,” she said.
