Hollywood star Julia Roberts reveals that she has been practising
Hinduism after filming her new movie "Eat, Pray and Love" in India.
The
42-year-old admits she regularly goes to temple to "chant and pray and
celebrate" with her three children and husband cameraman Daniel Moder,
reports dailymail.co.uk.
She said, "I'm definitely a practising
Hindu. Golly, I've been so spoiled with my friends and family in this
life. Next time I want to be just something quiet and supporting."
In the film, Roberts plays a woman hoping to find herself through Hindu spirituality.
The
actress caused controversy in India last September when local Hindus
were barred from celebrating an important religious festival while she
shot scenes for the film in their temple on the outskirts of New Delhi.
Villagers
hoping to mark the beginning of Navratri, nine days of worship of their
Goddess Durga, at Ashram Hari Mandir in Haryana, found their temple
sealed by Roberts's vast security team of 350 guards, bulletproof cars
and a helicopter.
"Eat, Pray, Love" is a big screen adaptation of the bestselling memoir of the same name by Elizabeth Gilbert.
