On the release day (Thursday) of her new Telugu sports drama Peddi, Janhvi Kapoor visited Tirumala and sought the blessings of Lord Venkateswara. The actress trekked the Alipiri steps late on Wednesday night and reached the shrine on Thursday morning, accompanied by her aunt Maheshwari, a cousin of her late mother, Sridevi.
Dressed in a purple floral saree, Janhvi offered prayers at the temple, honouring a family tradition closely associated with Sridevi, who was known to hold the shrine in deep reverence. Photos and videos from the visit quickly went viral on social media, with fans praising the actress for her simplicity and devotion. The spiritual visit comes as Peddi, co-starring Ram Charan, releases worldwide amid strong advance bookings and encouraging premiere reports.
Janhvi paired her saree with matching jewellery, a bindi, and a neatly styled half-updo. A frequent visitor to Tirumala, she shares a deep connection with the shrine. The actress often chooses to trek to the temple during her visits, describing the journey as a way of staying grounded and connected to her roots.
