May 24, 2026Despite his demanding shooting schedules, Hritik ensures that his spiritual practices remain a priority. “I fast on Mahashivratri and also keep fasts on Mondays. Even with hectic shooting schedules, I make sure to observe the fast. I take light fruits, water, and some coconut water to keep myself going,” he reveals.
Meditation and chanting play a crucial role in his celebration of this auspicious day. “Meditation and chanting ‘Om Namah Shivaya’ give me a different kind of energy, one that keeps me balanced throughout the day. It can be challenging, but I prepare myself mentally before the fast and stay hydrated. I take breaks for short meditations, which keeps my mind relaxed and my energy steady,” he explains.
