Hooda's Spiritual Shift: From Film Role to Life Vow
23 Nov
Summary
- Actor Randeep Hooda's preparation for a delayed film led to a spiritual transformation.
- He vowed not to cut his hair until the project was completed, a commitment of three years.
- The experience instilled Sikh philosophy of 'seva' through volunteer work, despite the film's cancellation.
Actor Randeep Hooda shared his transformative journey stemming from the shelved 'Battle of Saragarhi' project. His preparation involved a profound personal and spiritual evolution, deeply influenced by a visit to the Golden Temple where he was moved by stories of sacrifice. This experience led him to vow not to cut his hair for three years, a commitment that significantly impacted his career choices.
During this period, Hooda actively engaged with Global Six, a volunteer organization. He contributed his time and effort to disaster-stricken and underserved areas across India, including Kerala, Maharashtra, Punjab, Kashmir, and Haryana. Hooda emphasized that true help involves active participation rather than just social media posts.
Though 'Battle of Saragarhi' ultimately did not proceed to production, Hooda stated that the process instilled the Sikh philosophy of 'seva' (selfless service) within him. He described himself as merely a conduit for the volunteers' impactful work. Hooda also touched upon his unconventional career path, highlighting his determination to forge his own way in the industry.
