The ‘Pretty Woman’ of Hollywood, Julia Roberts visited India back in 2009 for the shoot of the film, Eat Pray Love, and that is when things changed for her as she got fascinated by the culture.
The Oscar-winning was born to a Catholic mother and a Baptist father. Back in 2010, Roberts made a significant lifestyle change that made the headlines. After shooting her film, the actress became a practicing Hindu. In an interview with Elle, she admitted to it and also mentioned that her husband and their three children go to temples to “chant, pray and celebrate”.
In the Good Morning America show, Julia Roberts spoke about what intrigued her to take such a massive step as she said, “I practiced. I practice a lot of things. Hinduism is something that I’m very intrigued by and very interested in.”
As per reports, her interest in this religion started after encountering the photograph of a Hindu Guru. Roberts revealed in an interview, “I was drawn to this picture of this person, and I didn’t know who he was or what he was about, but I felt a very strong interest. That’s the way things come into our lives. They’re not these big, great, crashing moments. It’s just the little like, ‘Hmm, what is this about?’”.
