Nepa Rudraksha aligns with Ajay Devgn to Expand Global Presence and Spiritual Legacy
Founded in 1973 in Nepal's sacred Arun Valley, Nepa Rudraksha has grown over five decades to become one of the most recognised names in spiritual wellness, particularly in the distribution of authentic Rudraksha beads. The brand's influence now extends across over 100+ countries, including India, the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, and parts of the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
Legacy and Leadership
The brand's origin lies in the work of Balaram Khatiwada, a priest at the revered Pashupatinath temple, whose dedication to the preservation of Vedic rituals and practices formed the foundation of the business. His son, Mukunda Khatiwada, later took charge of the company and led its entry into digital platforms, thereby enabling global access to its offerings without diluting their traditional roots.
Now in its third generation of stewardship, Nepa Rudraksha is led by Sukritya Khatiwada, a 26-year-old Vedic scholar and author of Transform Your Life with Rudraksha. He brings both scholarly depth and entrepreneurial clarity to the table, positioning the brand as a trusted global name while maintaining its cultural sanctity.
A Sacred Alignment: Ajay Devgn and Nepa Rudraksha
Ajay Devgn's association with Nepa Rudraksha does not follow the conventional path of celebrity endorsement. Known for his longstanding spiritual connection to Lord Shiva, Devgn's involvement is seen by the leadership as a personal alignment with the ethos of the brand.
In a recently released short film, Devgn is seen wearing the Siddha Mala and Rudra bracelet, both signature offerings from Nepa Rudraksha. The visuals borrow from classical Indian motifs and are accompanied by a musical composition tuned to the Om frequency. The result is not a product advertisement but a reflection of an inner journey, one that aligns with both Devgn's image and the spiritual focus of the brand.
The campaign was conceptualised and directed under the guidance of Sukritya Khatiwada, who ensured the narrative remained grounded in respect for tradition and free from overt commercial cues.
Nepa Rudraksha has taken several steps to set a benchmark in product integrity. Every bead is:
Sourced from Nepal's sacred Arun Valley
Certified by third-party IRL X-ray labs, a first in the industry
Evaluated under ISO 9001:2005 quality standards
Backed by Nepa's exclusive AAA Standard™, offering a lifetime authenticity guarantee
This combination of spiritual reverence and scientific validation has helped the brand build trust across diverse audiences, including both traditional seekers and a new generation of wellness-focused consumers.
Strategic Expansion and Digital Growth
With a rising global interest in spiritual wellness and mindfulness practices, Nepa Rudraksha is preparing to scale further. Its roadmap includes expanded e-commerce capabilities, deeper investment in digital education around Rudraksha science, and a mobile application that supports guided spiritual practices. Khatiwada's leadership reflects a clear intention to grow without losing cultural integrity.
The Road Ahead: Nepa Rudraksha's Future
Nepa Rudraksha stands at the threshold of a powerful new chapter; expanding globally, deepening digital presence, and launching the Sadhana app to support daily spiritual practice. With upcoming awareness campaigns and rich, educational content, the brand remains devoted to one purpose: spreading the truth and transformative power of real Rudraksha.

'Son of Sardaar 2' and 'Dhadak 2' day 1 box-office report: Both sequels suffer slow starts, fail to surpass 1st day earnings of their predecessors
Despite being anticipated continuations of popular originals, both Son of Sardaar 2 and Dhadak 2 opened to underwhelming numbers at the Indian box office. Released on the same Friday, the two films underperformed compared to the robust opening day revenues of their respective predecessors. Son Of Saardar 2 Box Office Collection According to data shared by the box-office monitoring platform Sacnilk , Son of Sardaar 2, a comedy-drama starring Ajay Devgn, managed to earn just Rs 6.75 crore on its debut day. This was significantly lower than the original Son of Sardaar, which had garnered Rs 10.80 crore on its first day. Despite Ajay Devgn's strong screen presence and a wide theatrical rollout across various metropolitan cities, the sequel failed to attract audiences in large numbers. In contrast, Devgn's earlier 2025 release, Raid 2, had enjoyed a much stronger launch with Rs 19.25 crore in opening day earnings. That film benefited from a national holiday release and an impressive 34% occupancy rate, ultimately crossing the Rs 100 crore mark within its opening week.

Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora—marking his Bollywood debut—the film also includes a vast supporting ensemble. The cast features talents such as Ravi Kishan, Sanjay Mishra, Neeru Bajwa, Deepak Dobriyal, Kubbra Sait, Chunky Panday, Vindu Dara Singh, and Sharat Saxena. Late actor Mukul Dev also appears posthumously, while Ashwini Kalsekar and Sahil Mehta play pivotal roles. Dhadak 2 Also Falls Behind On the same day, Dhadak 2 also saw a subdued response from moviegoers. The romantic drama, led by Triptii Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi, earned Rs 3.35 crore on its opening day. This figure is less than half of what the 2018 original, Dhadak, collected on its first day—Rs 8.71 crore. Despite fresh leads and a contemporary storyline, Dhadak 2 didn't replicate the magic or momentum of the debut film. Directed and written by Shazia Iqbal, Dhadak 2 is presented as a spiritual successor to the original. It also functions as a reinterpretation of the critically acclaimed Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal. Produced jointly by Dharma Productions, Zee Studios, and Cloud 9 Pictures, the film aimed to deliver a powerful social message wrapped in a romantic narrative—but struggled to find its footing during the initial release.
