Any kind of preparation is acceptable for the effective enactment of a character in a film. This is a slogan that numerous actors and actresses in the Hindi film fraternity abide by today.

It has become something of a norm for B-Towners to also be devotees of the Tirupati Balaji temple. 

Kangna Ranaut was a rare exception to that rule (to her defense, she has been meaning to visit for six years now)... until last week. She was there to seek blessings for her next, Tanu Weds Manu.

She says, "I went to Tirupati last week with my brother and sister, for the first time since coming to Mumbai. We go to Vaishno Devi more often.

But when I came to Mumbai, people kept telling me to visit the Tirupati Balaji temple. I wanted to, for many years now, but work commitments kept coming in the way. 

I was determined to go this time around. The trip was hectic and stressful but worth it. I loved my experience there. He (Balaji) is so powerful."
