Sara Ali Khan became visibly emotional while offering prayers at the Golden Temple in Amritsar, with a video showing the actress breaking down in tears attracting widespread attention online. She visited the revered Sikh shrine alongside Ayushmann Khurrana on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, during Dussehra celebrations.
The actors were seeking blessings ahead of their upcoming film Udta Teer, which is scheduled to arrive in theaters on October 23.
While their photographs captured a peaceful moment at the shrine, footage of Sara crying during prayers prompted concern and supportive messages from social media users.
Sara Ali Khan Gets Emotional While Praying at Golden Temple
In the widely circulated video, Sara is seen sitting inside Darbar Sahib with folded hands, holding a yellow cloth as tears stream down her face.
Ayushmann Khurrana is also present during the prayers, with both actors dressed in traditional white outfits.
Sara covered her head with a white dupatta, following the shrine’s customary practice.
The emotional moment quickly attracted attention, with several viewers expressing concern for the actress while others related to the experience of becoming overwhelmed during prayer.
However, Sara has not publicly explained what prompted her tears, and it would be premature to connect her emotions to any personal circumstances.
Sara Shares Dussehra Wishes With Ayushmann Khurrana
Following the visit, Sara shared a photograph with Ayushmann on Instagram, showing the two standing outside the Golden Temple with their hands folded.
Alongside the picture, she wrote:
“Happy Dussehra 🙏💕 Wishing everyone love, luck and laughter 🤗”
The actress has frequently shared photographs from visits to religious places, including Kedarnath and other prominent shrines.
Her latest visit combined the festive occasion with an important moment in her upcoming film’s promotional schedule.
Sara and Ayushmann Prepare for Udta Teer’s Release
Directed by Akash A. Kaushik, Udta Teer is a spy comedy featuring Ayushmann as Bilal Ahmed, a Pakistani agent who loses his memory after an accident and mistakenly believes he works for Indian intelligence.
Sara portrays Yamini in the film, which also stars Rahul Bose, Ram Kapoor, Gulshan Grover and Supriya Pilgaonkar.
Produced by Dharma Productions and Sikhya Entertainment, the movie reunites Sara and Ayushmann following Pati Patni Aur Woh Do.
Originally scheduled for October 9, Udta Teer was subsequently postponed to October 23, 2026.
The Golden Temple visit comes just days before the theatrical release, but Sara’s emotional reaction has become a separate talking point from the film’s promotion.
For now, the footage captures a personal moment of prayer that the actress has chosen not to explain publicly.
