Bollywood mega star Amitabh Bachchan is set to visit Ajmer Sharif to untie a sacred thread that he had tied 40 years ago.
The actor, who is set to become a grandfather soon, said he decided to make the trip after a long-wished prayer came true. His recent release ''Bbuddah Hoga Tera Baap'' also did well at the box office, says he has enough reasons to thank the God.
‘I plan to go to Ajmer Sharif tomorrow… a most respected and important place of prayer … it carries the belief that if you tie a thread at the mazaar as a ‘mannat’, it comes true,’ Big B posted on his blog BigB.bigadda.com.
‘Almost 40 years ago when I was just about to start my work as an actor in this industry, I had visited Ajmer and had tied a thread on the filigree work that surrounds the main area… for long I had wanted to revisit it and untie it, as a fulfillment of that mannat.
‘Tomorrow if all goes well, I shall be able to complete it. You untie any thread, for it is difficult to find the one that one ties almost 40 years back, and that is taken as a completion of your wish. If you wish another wish you tie another thread,’ he added.
Big B says it will be a nostalgic visit.
‘I was an unknown visitor then. I wait to see how it shapes up now tomorrow … more things in life fraught with undesirability are overcome with prayer than any other…prayer, that is a dedication and belief in one such superior power that shall when called out to, hopefully deliver… I need that deliverance… and the prayer,’ he posted.
When questioned by fans whether it was for the grandchild, Bachchan wrote, "People asking if ''mannat'' is for grandchild ..NO ! use your sense .. 40 years ago I will ask this mannat?? silly... its personal (sic)."
The shrine, dedicated to the Sufi saint who came to Ajmer from Persia in 1192, attracts thousands of pilgrims throughout the year.
