Ankita Lokhande, mother-in-law Ranjana Jain visit Jain Temple in Bilaspur; netizens react on 'religious reel'

Ankita Lokhande in Bilaspur with mother-in-law Ranjana Jain

Ankita Lokhande is now in Bilaspur, which is the home-town of her husband, Vikas Jain. As we know, he is the owner of a bituminous coal washery, and has other diverse business interests as well. The actress shared a reel where we can see her visit a Jain Temple along with her mother-in-law, Ranjana Jain. A lot of speculation was cast on their equation especially after what the lady said outside about Ankita Lokhande. Many found it quite demeaning towards the actress. But it looks like they have moved on. Ankita Lokhande wrote how regularly visiting the temple with her mother-in-law has helped them grow spiritually. 

She wrote that spending time with her mother-in-law has helped her understand her as a person. Ankita Lokhande said visits to the temple gave them a serene space where they could connect on a deeper level, and build mutual respect. Vikas Jain comes from a wealthy business family of Bilaspur with values deeply rooted in Jainism. He has also spoken about how spirituality and traditions keep them together as a unit. Even Ankita Lokhande is a very spiritual person. She is a follower of the famous Maharashtrian saint Swami Samarth.

This is not the first time the actress has shared a religious reel. She has made videos from her visits to various religious sites in Bilaspur. As we know, photography and making videos is strictly prohibited inside most temple premises. Many find it disrespectful towards those who wish to pray without the presence of technology. Also, this kind of show-off is considered lowbrow in most Indian faiths. Netizens also pinpointed this in the reel. A person said, “Why one has to make reel while taking darshan and chanting,” while another one opined, “While going to Derasar (Jain Temple), atleast avoid using phone.. and videography should be strictly prohibited!”
