Taking to Instagram Milind shared a post taking a dip in the River Ganga and wrote, “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!!”

To have the opportunity to be at the Mahakumbh and that too on the auspicious moments of Mauni Amavasya is beyond my comprehension. These are the moments that make you realise the importance of our very insignificant existence. My heart goes out to the people who lost their loved ones last night. May we all find peace through our prayers. Har Har Mahadev.”
