Premanand Maharaj delivered a heartfelt reply on the occasion and appreciated the achievement of the celebrity couple. He said it was difficult for someone with such fame to return to faith, but praised the power couple’s lifestyle.
“You both are very brave. It is very difficult to turn to bhakti (devotion) to achieve all this in the world. I think you will definitely get the answer because of your devotion,” he replied.
