Bollywood is moving towards spiritualism as well. The entertainment industry has begun mixing spirituality with it. Though this has been evident since its inception in some or the other way, but it has of late grown stronger now. Most of the actors today take solace in something other than the glamour and showbiz. According to reports reaching us, actress like Lara Dutta is busy practicing Sudershan kriya under the patronage of Ravi Shanker founder of Art of Living.
Similarly, Kunal Kapoor who played a Muslim boy in 'Rang De Basanti' is also an ardent follower of Ravi Shanker. This is not confined to Bollywood alone. Even artists from the South are keen on practicing it. Nagma has been reportedly following Art of Living for a decade or so. Lately, Sonu Nigam has turned towards Yoga and confesses that he has realized its importance in his life.
