The film 'Krishnavataram Part 1: The Heart' continues to captivate audiences, and its lead actors Siddharth Gupta and Sanskruti Jayana have shared a deeply personal experience tied to the movie. Before the film's theatrical release, both actors visited Vrindavan and met the respected spiritual teacher Premanand Maharaj. In an interview with News18 Showsha, they described the encounter as profoundly emotional and spiritually uplifting.
Siddharth Gupta Says Meeting Was Destiny
Siddharth revealed that the visit felt destined and fulfilled a wish his mother had cherished since he signed the film. He stated, 'I think everything happens for a reason. As it is written in the Bhagavad Gita, we can't plan things. Even with our movie, the way we are getting the love, I think it was destiny. It was also destiny that I had to go and meet Premanand Maharaj. It was my mother's dream that the day I signed Krishnavatram, I should go and meet Premanand Maharaj, and I said, 'How?' But it happened on such a beautiful day when our premiere took place.'
The actor noted the immediate effect of the spiritual atmosphere on him. 'When you are in his presence, there is another level of glow; the energy level changes. I was extremely sleep deprived, but the minute I entered the room, it all went away. I couldn't stop smiling. It felt very godly and divine in his presence,' he added.
Sanskruti Jayana Says She Couldn't Stop Crying
Sanskruti shared that she was overcome with emotion the moment Premanand Maharaj entered the room. 'It was beautiful. I couldn't stop crying the minute he entered the room. His energy is so pure that it changes everything around. Of course, we have heard him a lot, but when you are in his presence, it is something else,' she expressed.

Siddharth Gupta portrays Krishna, while Sanskruti Jayana appears as Satyabhama.
