There are times in all our lives, when we desire the need for divine intervention; times, when life refuses to acknowledge the seemingly obvious and decides to take refuge in a world that is far away from ours. A world that gives the body and mind the spiritual healing that it yearns for. We, at Telly Chakkar.com decided to delve deeper into the lives of our favourite stars and know a little about their lives beyond the obvious.

Mandira Bedi - an actor, cricket commentator and a theatre person all rolled into one! A Sardarni to the hilt, the actor's family hails from Pakistan. She surely is a firm believer in God, although she doesn't follow any one particular religion. From visiting the Siddhi Vinayak temple to going to Shirdi she has relied on God for every tough situation she has had to face in life.

Kavita Shyam spoke to the god fearing Mandira

"I keep having dialogues with God"
I believe in God and I keep having a constant dialogue with the supreme authority every now and then. I pray to God atleast once a day. My prayers are full of thanks to him and it's not for anything else. I would say God has been kind to me and I feel energised after talking to him.

"You have to get a calling from God"
Plenty of times I have walked up to the Siddhi Vinayak temple from my house (in Bandra). I go to the church to pray besides I go to Shirdi once a year without fail!I believe that when you get the calling from God you end up going to the temple. I keep making deals with God. I have a small mandir at the entrance of my house and it has Mother Mary, Buddha, Shiv-Parvati and Krishna and every one who comes home , makes sure to matha teko and pray.

"I ask God for the right path"
I keep making mannat to God for many things but they are not for materialistic things. I find myself asking God for the right directions in life. I share a good relationship with God and I know if I find myself depressed or in a bad situation and have no answers for them I can safely turn to God and seek my answers from him and feel God by my side.

"I don't dwell on depressions and my past"
I have a firm belief and faith in God than in the rituals. I fast on Mondays only but it's not for religious reasons. I know that God has plans for me. I don't give myself time to dwell on any kind of depression and I take every negativity or situation as a learning experience. I have never questioned God's presence ever.
