Shah Rukh Khan visits Vaishno Devi Temple for 3rd time this year ahead of ‘Dunki’ release
Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan made his third visit to the sacred Vaishno Devi Temple this year. The actor, known for his charismatic on-screen presence, took time off from his hectic schedule ahead of the much-anticipated release of his upcoming film, Dunki, which is scheduled to hit the theatres on December 21.
Shah Rukh’s affinity for the Vaishno Devi Temple is not a new revelation. The actor has often expressed his deep-rooted connection with spirituality, and his frequent visits to the revered shrine underscore his reverence for divine blessings. A video is getting viral on social media in which Shah Rukh can be seen escorted by some people with a few policemen as well.
As usual, his manager Pooja Dadlani also paid a visit to the temple along with the actor. However, to avoid the attention of other devotees, Shah Rukh decided to go incognito as he was seen wearing a long black jacket which completely hid his face.

‘Dunki’ will be clashing with ‘Salaar’ at the box office
The timing of Shah Rukh’s visit, just before the release of Dunki, adds an intriguing layer to the narrative. It echoes a tradition in the film industry where actors seek divine intervention and blessings before the release of their projects. However, despite being a Muslim, Shah Rukh’s faith in other religions displays how grounded he is and how deeply he respects the sentiments of other people.
Talking about the movie, Rajkumar Hirani, the creative genius behind iconic movies such as Munna Bhai MBBS, 3 Idiots, and PK, is expected to weave his magic once again with Dunki. Produced by Hirani and Gauri Khan, the film boasts an impressive cast, including Vicky Kaushal, Taapsee Pannu, Boman Irani, and others.
Interestingly, the movie also faces an intriguing challenge at the box office as it clashes with Prabhas’ much-anticipated action-thriller, Salaar. The clash adds an element of suspense to the film’s fate, leaving fans curious about how the two cinematic giants will fare against each other.
