Shooting in Varanasi has been a journey unlike anything I’ve ever experienced, almost otherworldly. As a devoted bhakt of Mahadev, to be able to come here for work and, at the same time, receive his blessings has been nothing short of surreal. Visiting the sacred Kashi Vishwanath temple, standing in the glow of the aartis, and gliding over the serene waters of the Ganga, each moment felt like a prayer in motion.
The energy of this city is not just felt, it seeps into your soul, and it never leaves you.”Adding to it, Amandeep Sidhu said, “Some projects feel like they find you at the right time, Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan is one such journey, and it feels nothing short of divine timing. Varanasi has been a blessing, spiritually and creatively. One of the most special moments for me was visiting the Kashi Vishwanath temple to seek blessings before starting the shoot. There’s something indescribable about standing in that sacred place; I could feel a silent strength anchoring me.
That energy stayed with me long after I left. Exploring the lanes filled with stories, connecting with the locals, and sitting quietly by the ghats, it’s been an experience I’ll never forget. There’s a rare kind of peace in this city, even in its chaos. Unlike any set or location I’ve worked at before, Varanasi adds a real emotion to every scene. Beginning this journey in such a spiritually rich city has not only grounded me as an actor but also brought a sense of calm that I truly needed.”With Srishti and Amandeep beginning this journey with the blessings of Kashi Vishwanath, Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan promises to be a deeply emotional story of resilience, motherhood, and the unbreakable bond between a mother and her daughters.
