Travelling to India awakened new understanding of myself: Hollywood star Will Smith
Mumbai, Apr 7: Hollywood star Will Smith says his trip to India awakened a new understanding of himself and the world around him.
The actor, who visited Haridwar to shoot for his Facebook Watch show "Will Smith's Bucket List", took to Instagram Saturday to share the pictures of the experience.
"My Grandmother used to say, 'God Teaches through Experience'.
"Travelling to India and experiencing the colours, people and natural beauty has awakened a new understanding of myself, my art and the truths of the world," Smith captioned the series of photographs and a video, including that of the Ganga aarti.
For a previous episode, titled "Will Smith's Bucket list: Bollywood Dancing", Smith shot a Bollywood dance sequence, which he said, was a dream come true for him.
In his latest India tour, the actor also roamed around in an autorickshaw across the busy streets of Mumbai and got some dance lessons from actor Ranveer Singh and filmmaker Karan Johar.
Smith's dance sequence will also feature in Johar's upcoming production "Student of the Year 2".
This was not the Hollywood star's first visit to the country.
In 2017, Smith had come to Mumbai for the promotion of Netflix film "Bright". He also visited New Delhi for a conclave.

Roof collapse at Novi Sad Railway station claims 14 lives, sparks outrage
Novi Sad, Serbia: At least 14 people, including a young child and a foreign national, were killed when the concrete roof of a railway station in Novi Sad collapsed on Friday. Rescue efforts continue as emergency teams search for survivors trapped beneath the rubble. Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and Interior Minister Ivica Dacic have pledged a thorough investigation to determine the cause of the accident and hold those responsible accountable.
Interior Minister Dacic confirmed the death toll, which includes a 6-year-old girl and a citizen from Northern Macedonia. Three individuals were rescued with serious injuries and are currently receiving medical care. As 80 rescue workers clear the wreckage, officials warn the death toll could rise, with some victims yet to be identified.
The incident has reignited public anger over station maintenance, with opposition groups blaming government negligence and poor upkeep for the tragedy. President Vucic clarified that the collapsed roof had not been part of recent renovations, pledging accountability at both political and criminal levels.
Prime Minister Milos Vucevic noted that the original canopy structure, built in 1964, remained unchanged in recent updates. In response to the tragedy, the government has declared Saturday a day of mourning, and residents in Novi Sad are gathering to light candles in remembrance of the victims.
