Sai Pallavi had the opportunity to visit the Amarnath temple with her parents recently. While the photos went viral on social media, she finally wrote about this divine experience. The Premam actress started off by writing that she doesn't like to share personal experiences but the Amarnath yatra was something she had wanted to undertake for a very long time now.
Sai Pallavi wrote, "Taking parents who’re almost 60 is emotionally testing in ways one cannot explain. Watching them gasp for breath and hold their chest, take breaks at slippery paths amidst snow made me question the lord almighty, why you so far?"

She said she got her answer to this question on her way back down from Amarnath. "And I got my answer when I walked back after the darshan. As I walked down the hill, I witnessed something overwhelming: When people notice a few yatris on the verge of giving up, they take a long breath and chant “Om Namah Shivaya”, and instantly the same yatris chant back and pick themselves up to continue. Horses and the villagers carry the yatris to fulfil their desire of worshipping Bhole Nath at the holy cave," she stated.
The Gargi actress went on to thank everyone who had helped them in this journey from the Shri Amarnath Ji Shrine Board to the ' Army/CRPF/Police for their selfless acts of service, sacrifice and sense of duty' by protecting them at all times.

WILLPOWER AND STRENGTH TESTED
"This place is powerful because it stands witness to the acts of such selfless service. Regardless of our wealth, beauty and power, it’s one’s healthy body, strong mind and a heart that helps others, is what’s going to make our journey on earth worth living. Amarnath yatra challenged my will power, tested my body and proved to me that this Life itself is a pilgrimage and we are a dead race if we are not there for each other!," wrote Sai Pallavi about her journey.
