INDIA, November 14, 2010: “My opting for Hinduism is not a religious gimmick,” says Julia Roberts with her usual self-confidence in a telephone chat with Ranjan Das Gupta. In London recently, the actress spoke about her recent “Eat, Pray, Love” and its success during the interview. “It is similar to a character of Razor’s Edge by Somerset Maugham. It’s about finding peace and tranquillity of mind in Hinduism, one of the oldest and respected religions of civilisation”.
The Pretty Woman’s Hindu faith is a private matter.
“I have no intention of demeaning any other religion simply because of my fondness for Hinduism. I don’t believe in comparing religions or human beings. A comparison is a very mean thing to do. I have received real spiritual satisfaction through Hinduism,” she says.
