Bhagyashree in Varanasi: What actress said on changes happening in Varanasi, Banarasi cuisine, AI, her film career
Bollywood actress Bhagyashree visited Varanasi recently. She had darshan at Baba Vishwanath Temple, rode through the streets in a rickshaw, and enjoyed local delicacies like Malaiyo, Gugni, and spicy peas. She also took a boat ride on the Ganges, took selfies, and made videos.
Varanasi's streets and ghats should remain as they are
Sharing her views on the changes happening in Varanasi, Bhagyashree said that development is necessary, but the soul of Varanasi, its streets and ghats should remain as they are. She said that Varanasi is the oldest city in the world and its soul should never change. He appealed to people to visit Kashi at least once in their lifetime and experience its peace, culture, and spiritual energy.
Bhagyashree also praised the art and spirituality of Varanasi. She said, "This city is deeply connected to artists. Whether it's Ustad Bismillah Khan or MF Hussain, many great artists have a connection with Varanasi. We are also artists. They say that art is born from peace. Coming to Varanasi 6gives you a chance to discover yourself."
Bhagyashree captivated by Banarasi cuisine
Bhagyashree highly praised the Banarasi cuisine. She said that she tasted Varanasi's famous Gugni and spicy peas at night, which she loved. The true identity of any place lies in its food, its local people, and their art. If you don't taste the local food and talk to the local people when you visit a city, then the real meaning of visiting that place remains incomplete.
Positive use of AI is fine
Bhagyashree expressed concern over the ongoing discussions about AI (Artificial Intelligence). She said that the positive use of AI is fine, but creating fake videos and statements through it is extremely harmful. It is becoming difficult for the common man to differentiate between right and wrong.
Shooting of Raja Shivaji completed
When asked about her film career, Bhagyashree said that she will soon be seen in a big project. The shooting of her upcoming film Raja Shivaji has been completed, which is being directed by Ritesh Deshmukh. The film will feature big stars like Ritesh Deshmukh, his wife Genelia, Abhishek Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, and Vidya Balan. The film is expected to be released in early 2026.
