Television actress Nupur Alankar’s latest avatar has fans doing a double-take. The star of 150+ serials, famous for her antagonistic roles, has embraced sannyas-like devotion, wrapping herself in saffron, adorning a red bindi, and wielding prayer beads.
Her journey from Mumbai’s bustling sets to serene spiritual pursuits began post her mother’s death. Relieved of familial obligations, Nupur chose to devote her existence to bhakti. Now, under ‘Maa Pitambara’ on social media, she shares profound videos: from yagna performances to breakdowns of japa versus jaap benefits.
Clad in bhagwa saree, she chants with manjira accompaniment – Radhe Shyam and Shri Krishna echoing her transformed soul. After 27 relentless years in shows including Shaktimaan, Ghar Ki Lakshmi Betiyaan, and Rajaji, this abrupt exit stuns the industry.
Nupur’s sparse social media activity has turned prolific, with devotional updates drawing seekers. Her unrecognizable appearance underscores inner change over outer glamour. By demystifying chants for youth, she bridges entertainment and enlightenment.
This narrative of renunciation amid fame underscores life’s deeper quests. Nupur Alankar’s bold step invites reflection on priorities, proving spirituality can eclipse even the brightest spotlights.
