After taking the dip, Akshay Kumar expressed his joy and praised the seamless arrangements. "It was an incredible experience. The management this time is outstanding, and I sincerely thank CM Yogi Adityanath ji. In 2019, there were some challenges, but this year, everything is remarkably well-organised," he said. The actor also extended his gratitude to the Mela cops and sanitation workers, acknowledging their hard work in making the event a grand success.
Katrina Kaif visited the Parmarth Niketan camp on the Mela campus and met the organisation's head Swami Chidanand Saraswati and Sadhvi Bhagwati Saraswati. The seer blessed her by presenting a Lord Shiva idol and a Rudraksha plant. Swami Chidanand Saraswati said when Bollywood icons come to such spiritual gatherings, it helps connect the youth with their cultural and religious heritage. "Spirituality is not confined to saints and monks; it is an essential part of life for everyone," he said. Raveena Tandon also visited Parmarth Niketan camp.

Sadhvi Bhagwati Saraswati echoed the same sentiment and emphasised that spirituality is not just for the elderly or ascetics but can deeply enrich the lives of the younger generation. "When celebrities like Katrina Kaif visit Kumbh, it inspires the youth to embrace their cultural roots," she added.
