Katrina visits Ajmer dargah, ignores ban

DHAKA: Katrina Kaif visited the Ajmer dargah to seek the khwaja’s blessings, the first film star to do so after the dargah head expressed his displeasure at film crews praying at there for their movie’s success and leaving CDs behind.

A week ago, the religious head of the dargah had issued a statement demanding restrictions on film stars visiting the shrine to promote their films, reports The Times of India.

Accompanied by Mere Brother Ki Dulhan director Ali Abbas Zafar, Katrina reached the dargah around 6.30am Wednesday, clad in black salwar kameez and a dupatta.

‘Since it’s Ramzan, the dargah is crowded with people during the entire day. To prevent any chaos, she preferred visiting the shrine in the wee hours of the morning. She was here for half an hour and untied a mannat ka dhaga that she had tied when she visited last,’ said khadim Qutubuddin Sakhi.

When a photographer tried clicking her pictures, Kat politely requested him to not do so.
