Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], January 21 : Actor Shefali Shah was spotted at Lucknow airport as she arrived to attend the Pran Pratishtha ceremony of Ayodhya's Ram Temple on January 22.

While talking to mediapersons, Shefali Shah said, "I am honoured to be here. This is one of the biggest cultural moments that our country and we, as Indians, can experience. It is a really big thing and I am feeling so proud to be an Indian. The culture in our country is so rich. But we are pretty unaware of it."
