On Friday, Vaikunta Ekadashi saw a massive influx of devotees to temples across the Telugu states. Devotees thronged to seek the blessings of Lord Venkateswara. Temples in the region were bustling with activity, and amidst this, a Tollywood actress climbed the Tirumala steps on her knees. A video of this act has now gone viral on social media.
On the auspicious occasion of Mukkoti Ekadashi, temples across the Telugu states were packed with devotees. As Vaikunta Ekadashi fell on January 10, people flocked to nearby temples for darshan. In this context, a Tollywood actress visited Tirumala Tirupati. She took the stairway route and climbed the hills by foot to seek the blessings of Lord Venkateswara. Moreover, as a gesture of devotion, she ascended the Tirumala steps on her knees. The video capturing this devotional act has been widely shared on social media.
Wondering who the actress is? She is none other than Nandini Rai.
Nandini Rai recently appeared in the movie Vaarasudu (starring Vijay Thalapathy and directed by Vamshi Paidipally) as Srikanth’s love interest. Produced by Dil Raju, the film achieved considerable success. Earlier, she played the lead role in Maya, directed by Neelakanta. She has also acted alongside Sudheer Babu in Mosagallaku Mosagadu and appeared in a few other Telugu films. However, despite her work, Nandini has not gained significant popularity.
That said, she continues to receive opportunities in Tollywood and is staying active on social media. She regularly shares posts that engage her followers. Most recently, on the occasion of Vaikunta Ekadashi, she climbed the Tirumala steps on her knees as a gesture of devotion to Lord Venkateswara.
