Varanasi has turned out to be the go-to destination for filmmakers and actors to promote their film or seek the blessings of Lord Shiva ahead of a film release.

Days after Kartik Aaryan returned from Varanasi post the release of his film Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, Akshay Kumar was spotted performing a pooja on the banks of river Ganga

The actor is currently promoting his film Samrat Prithviraj and was accompanied by co-star and former Miss World Manushi Chhillar in Varanasi.

Taking to Instagram, Akshay Kumar shared a picture of himself wearing a pink kurta and holding a prayer plate in his hands with diyas and flowers in it. Akshay had a red tika on his forehead as well as he performed a puja on the banks of river Ganga.

Manushi also shared pictures from the puja as she joined him in a pink salwar-kurta.

In one of her pictures, Manushi is seen praying, folding her hands, with her eyes closed.

In another picture, the Samrat Prithviraj actors held the prayer plate together with a priest helping them with offering their prayers. Akshay also surprised everyone when he took a dip in the river in his kurta-pyjama. He simply joined his hands over his head and jumped into the river.
