Punjabi Actor Karanvir Sharma Celebrates Guru Nanak Jayanti's Spiritual Essence

As the world celebrates Guru Nanak Jayanti on November 5, 2025, actor Karanvir Sharma reflects on the profound spiritual essence of the day and what it truly means to him. Known for his calm demeanor and thoughtful outlook, Karanvir shares how the teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji have become a guiding force in his life, both personally and professionally.

For the Punjabi actor, Guru Nanak Jayanti represents a deep spiritual foundation. "Our scriptures teach that God is one and knowledge is supreme. Guru Nanak Jayanti celebrates both -- the wisdom of our first Guru and the path of positivity, karma, and dharma." In an industry where rapid pace and stress sometimes clash, Karanvir finds solace in the principles espoused by Guru Nanak Dev Ji. "He taught us to absorb knowledge and use it to better our lives, and to care for those around us, like family, friends, neighbors, and even strangers, because God resides in everyone."

Karanvir also has fond memories of celebrating the festival as a child, cherishing the Amrit Pheri and Prabhat Pheri processions that move through the locality. "Watching the procession of Guru Nanak Ji is something I've always found beautiful. Everyone joins in -- some walk, some pray, and some simply watch with reverence." The actor also finds great joy in serving food at the Gurudwara, sitting on the floor, listening to Shabad, and partaking in the community Langar. "Trust me, no one leaves a Gurudwara hungry. That's the beauty of Sikhism."
