Shalin Bhanot Joins PM Narendra Modi's Call For Temple Cleaning Ahead Of Ram Mandir Inauguration

Television actor Shalin Bhanot, who spent nearly five months in the Bigg Boss 16 house, experienced a rollercoaster journey in the reality show. Despite challenges, the actor earned a massive fan base for his stint in the show. Post his exit, the Saat Phere star continues to make headlines, not just for his professional work but also for his humanitarian efforts. Recently, paparazzi captured Shalin cleaning a local Ram Temple ahead of the much-awaited inauguration of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. Following the trend set by other actors and politicians cleaning temples nationwide, Shalin also decided to follow the similar path and earned praise from his admirers for his commitment towards community service.

A paparazzi page shared a video of Shalin wiping the temple floor with a red cloth. The actor opted for a simple look, wearing a sleeveless white t-shirt and black jeans. Two little girls joined him in the special task, who were also seen cleaning the floor under his guidance. Shalin even appreciated their efforts while instructing them. As the actor cleaned on the floor, Ram Siya Ram from Adipurush could be heard playing in the background.
