Sharing a video that captured her journey at the MahaKumbh mela, Preity wrote, "This was my third time at the Kumbh Mela & it was magical, heartwarming & a bit sad."

"Magical because no matter how hard I try, I cannot explain how I felt. Heartwarming because I went with my mom & it meant the world to her," she added.

Explaining why the experience felt a little sad as well, she said, "Sad, because I wanted to be liberated from the various cycles of life & death only to realise the duality of life & attachment. Am I ready to let go of my family, my children & the people I love? No ! I'm not ! It's deeply moving & humbling when it dawns on you, that the strings of attachment are strong & mighty & no matter what your attachment is,eventually your spiritual journey & the journey ahead is solo ! I came back with the notion that - we are not human beings having a spiritual experience but spiritual beings having a human experience. Beyond this I don't know, but I'm confident, my curiosity will definitely pave the way towards all the answers I seek… till then … हर हर महादेव ting."
