Pavitra Punia, a well-known TV actress and former Bigg Boss contestant, has been spending a significant amount of time focusing on her spiritual practices lately, especially after her breakup with Eijaz Khan. One notable aspect of her daily routine that has caught attention is the fact that she often wears sindoor, a traditional Hindu symbol of marriage, in her maang. While she has spoken about this before, Pavitra has now shared a video where she opens up about the reason behind this practice.
In the video, Pavitra explains that she wears sindoor as a symbol of her devotion to her mother, whom she considers her deity. She shares a story from Hindu mythology where Lord Hanuman covers his entire body with sindoor to ensure Lord Rama’s long life. Inspired by this story, Pavitra says she wears sindoor in her maang as a way to show her love and devotion to her mother, who she refers to as “Jagat Janani” (the mother of the universe). She urges her followers to stop questioning her decision and instead, encourages them to adopt this practice as well, stating that no one has forbidden it.
It’s worth noting that Pavitra, who is 38 years old and still unmarried, has been linked to several celebrities in the past, including Pratik Sehajpal from Bigg Boss 15 and Eijaz Khan from Bigg Boss 14. Her personal life has been under scrutiny, with some even claiming that she was previously married to a businessman named Sumit Maheshwari. However, Pavitra has always maintained that she is single and focused on her career and spiritual growth.
The video has sparked a mix of reactions from her fans, with some appreciating her devotion to her mother and others questioning her decision to wear sindoor as an unmarried woman. Nevertheless, Pavitra remains unfazed, choosing to focus on her spiritual journey and the values that are important to her. As she says in the video, “Jay Maa Dii” (hail mother), emphasizing the significance of maternal love and devotion in her life.
