TV actress Charrul Malik, who is known for her role in the popular comedy show Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hain!, has opened up about her devotion to Lord Shiva and how he has helped her overcome many challenges in her life. In an exclusive interview with us, she shared her personal experiences of being a Shiv bhakt and how she celebrates Maha Shivratri, the auspicious festival dedicated to the supreme deity.
Charrul Malik, who started her career as a news anchor, said that Lord Shiva has always been there for her in her time of need, to guide her and protect her. She said, “Lord Shiva has always blessed me, guiding my boat to safety whenever I faced difficult times.” She recalled how she used to chant his name before every exam when she was studying law, and how she would feel a sense of peace and confidence when she saw a large Shiva idol on her way. She said that Lord Shiva always helped her perform well in her exams, and later in her career as well.
She said that she believes that Lord Shiva has worked miracles in her life, and that she always thanks him for all her accomplishments. She said, “Though I don’t engage in lengthy rituals, I always chant Shiva’s name in my mind before undertaking any task.” She also revealed that she feels a “heightened connection with Shiva” on Maha Shivratri and that she observes a fast and offers milk to Shiva at home.
Charrul Malik said that worshipping Shiva has taught her valuable life lessons like being patient, having a positive attitude towards life, and doing tapasya. She explained, “I always say tapasya because when you are in a routine, and doing a job, without thinking about yourself, you dedicate your body, mind, wealth, and soul, to it and I have felt that power from within, the inner power of Lord Shiva.” She said that she has been a Shiva follower since childhood and that she believes he is always present around her. She said, “The divine force is always around us, and in my personal growth, every day is dedicated to Shiv bhakti for me. I don’t do long prayers, but Lord Shiva is always on my mind. Whenever I do any good work, I write a small Om sign and thank Lord Shiva in my mind. For me, he is everything.”
Charrul Malik also spoke about how Maha Shivratri is an opportunity for spiritual growth, and how it infuses new energy into her. She said that prayers give her energy and positivity and that she believes that if you are happy within yourself, you can surpass any obstacle. She also shared her experience of visiting the Isha Foundation, Coimbatore, along with her Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hain! co-star Shubhangi Atre, and said that it was a wonderful experience. She said, “Though I may not do extensive puja, Shiva is always in my heart. I express gratitude with a small ‘Om’ symbol, thanking Shiva for being everything to me. No doubt, devotion and celebration together make us feel energized. It teaches us to avoid judging others, accept everyone, maintain a positive attitude, and practice patience.”
