Bollywood Hungama has now come across an exclusive picture from the Bengaluru ashram, where Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is seen posing with several noted names from the film industry. The picture features Sajid Nadiadwala, Rajkumar Hirani, Sunil Grover, Vikrant Massey, Montoo Bassi (the director of White, which stars Vikrant as Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar), ace photographer Avinash Gowariker, Viineet Kumar Siingh.

Bollywood Hungama spoke exclusively with producer Divyansh Jain about the experience. He said, “It was a memorable experience. Gurudev is doing some great work in the field of mental health. Moreover, his message of non-violence and peace is all the more important in today’s times of war. We all congratulated and thanked him for his great work.”
Divyansh then opened up about the conversations that took place during the meeting. He revealed, “Mahaveer uncle informed Gurudev that we had all travelled all the way from Mumbai to thank him for his humanitarian activities and to fully support his endaevour of a stress-free world on the occasion of his 70th birthday. He said that he believes that Gurudev will continue to inspire millions of people around the world for 70 more years and beyond.”
Sharing more details, Divyansh continued, “Sajid Nadiadwala’s production house completed 75 years and Gurudev congratulated him for it. Sajid sir remarked that he saw a different kind of happiness and glitter on the faces and in the eyes of people after they met Gurudev, and that he had never witnessed anything like this before in his life.”
He added, “Rajkumar sir and his wife revealed that they practise Sudarshan Kriya and Sahaj Meditation, which he learned from Gurudev, and that it has significantly improved their overall health. Vikrant Massey, who plays Gurudev in the upcoming film White, confessed that it has been a life-changing experience and that his life is no longer the same after coming in contact with Gurudev.”
Divyansh Jain further said, “Viineet Kumar Siingh had been residing at the ashram for two days and felt extremely at peace. He also narrated the poem that he had famously recited in Chhaava (2025). Avinash Gowariker remarked that he has photographed several superstars, but it is his wish to click pictures of the biggest superstar of all – Gurudev.”
The meeting also had its lighter moments. Divyansh recalled, “Sunil Grover thanked Gurudev and, in a lighter vein, asked for permission to imitate him the way he recently did for Aamir Khan. Gurudev laughed and said, ‘Mujhe mat phasao bhai’!”
Divyansh signed off by saying, “It was a heartwarming meeting, and all of us will remember it forever.”
