The Maha Kumbh Mela 2025 has seen an influx of notable personalities, with a number of celebrities traveling to Prayagraj to take part in the ritual of the holy dip at the Sangam.

Milind expressed both his sense of spirituality and his condolences for the victims of the tragic stampede that occurred earlier in the week.
Milind Soman, who was dressed in a yellow dhoti, wrote on his Instagram: “Blessed to be at the Mahakumbh with @ankita_earthy on the very special day of Mauni Amavasya! Such a spiritual space and experience reminds me of how small and insignificant I am in the vastness of existence and how every moment that we are here is so special. Even though my heart is full, I am saddened by the events of last night, and my prayers are with the families who lost loved ones. Har Har Gange! Har Har Mahadev!!”
Veteran actor and BJP MP, Hema Malini, also participated in the religious event, taking a dip in the Triveni Sangam on Mauni Amavasya. She expressed her gratitude for being part of the occasion, calling it “a good fortune” to take part in the auspicious ritual.
