  • Abhishek Bachchan Prays At Kashi Vishwanath Temple
Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan on Wednesday paid a visit to the famous Kashi Vishwanath Temple.

Shrikant Mishra, a priest who conducted the puja for Abhishek, said that the actor prayed for the health and well being of his parents and family, and told the priests that he had been thinking of coming to the seat of Baba Vishwanath for a very long time.
