Govinda and his wife Sunita have become pilgrimage tourists. Recently the couple did a special bhaat puja (worshiping rice) at a temple outside Mumbai. The actor, his wife and brother Kirti have been seen at many temples and religious places of worship in the last few months.

Some of his completed films have got stuck before release, and he hasn't even been getting good offers.
He believes that prayers will help his career. He also believes that the best and the only way to remove the obstacles in one's path is to offer pujas at various religious shrines.

Govinda has always been a very spiritual person and today Sunita is also following in her husband's footsteps. On Tuesday the duo visited the famous Mahakaal temple in Indore where they offered prayers and one more temple in the city, where they offered bhaat puja. Chi Chi admits, "Sunita and I had gone to Mahakaal temple like we do every year.

We did the bhaat puja, which is a puja worshiping rice. Last month Sunita had gone to Vaishno Devi, Pushkar Lake, Garib Nawaz (Ajmer Shariff) and other religious places in Rajasthan. I joined Sunita in Indore. Kirti has visited all the Devis shrines all over India including the Nav Durga temple."

When quizzed about why his whole family is so rigorously participating in religious rituals and travelling to religious shrines Govinda says, "We do that every year. One should also do puja and meditation to balance our lives and cleanse our souls. I have been going to the Siddhivinayak every Tuesday for many years now."
