Doctor-Turned-Actor Finds Spiritual Calm in Varanasi
16 May
Summary
- Actor Palash Tiwari visited Varanasi for the first time for a wedding.
- He experienced spiritual moments at Kashi Vishwanath temple and Ganga Aarti.
- Tiwari, an MBBS graduate, left medicine to pursue acting.

Palash Tiwari, a doctor by training from Gwalior, embarked on his first spiritual journey to Varanasi, a city he found remarkably calming compared to Mumbai's fast pace. His visit, initially for a wedding, allowed him to immerse himself in the city's spiritual essence, including a visit to the Kashi Vishwanath temple and witnessing the Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat.
Tiwari, an MBBS graduate, courageously left a conventional medical career to pursue acting. His family's initial skepticism turned to support as they witnessed his growing success in advertisements and films, including a role in 'Satyaprem Ki Katha'. He noted how extensive advertisement work can lead to typecasting.
The actor also expressed excitement about an upcoming film where he shares the screen with veteran actors like Sunny Deol and Sanjay Dutt, describing the experience as surreal. He cherishes the camaraderie on set, recalling Jackie Shroff's humorous interactions that fostered a comfortable environment.
