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.

She started off as the hip Jo in Kitni Mast Hai Zindagi, and then Mansi Parekh broke into the hip world of India Calling as Chandni from mofussil India. Chandni can't stop talking about Matarani in her current series, but Chandni is not the real Mansi.

She talks about her belief in spirituality and her discovery of Buddhism to Riya V Anandwala.

My Belief

I have started following Buddhism of late. It is a very practical religion, with no notion of idol worship. I chant every morning without fail. I do believe in God too, certainly there is someone up above, a supernatural power.

No Rituals
I am into the Hindu rituals too. You won't find me praying every morning or night, just whenever I feel like it. But yes, Buddhism chants give me a lot of energy and serve as a de-stresser!

"I never ask for anything"

I have always had in hard work. I have never asked for anything special as such. However, Buddhism demands a lot of meeting with people, which I can't live up to, as I am working.

Changing Perspectives

It is said that Buddhism gives us instant results. It is indeed a very practical way of connecting with God and has changed my perspective completely.

I have read a few books on the subject. But recently, I bought a copy of the Bhagvad Gita from someone on the sets of India Calling. And I have just started on that.
