Give thanks to the universe. It's such an amazing feeling, I'm getting goosebumps." Rubina was quite impressed by Ankita's unique approach and the wellness ritual she follows. She even mentioned that she's considering adopting it as part of her own daily routine. Ankita further spoke about how she dedicates half an hour every morning to prayer. During this time, she recites the Ram Raksha Stotra, Hanuman Chalisa, Sankatmochan, and Bajrang Baan as part of her spiritual practice. She says, "I go for my shower, after I come back, half an hour is dedicated to my god. That half an hour is just me and my god. I recite the Ram Raksha Stotra, Hanuman Chalisa, Sankatmochan, and Bajrang Baan. I keep water there as well and charge that water by keeping it near the temple and I drink that water throughout the day." 'What I Eat In A Day' ft.
