The actors took the holy dip( snan) at the VIP section of the Triveni Sangam. While many were appreciating the gesture, a section of the audience began taking videos of Katrina as she took the holy dip. Some videos show many pilgrims looking for a selfie or a reaction from the actor. In another video that has been doing the rounds on social media, we see a bunch of men joking and filming Katrina as she took a dip in the river and prayed.

Mass bullying.” Another wrote, “This is sad and disturbing,” read another comment. "This is terrible. How are people so shameless?” someone wrote.
