In this video of about 2 minutes 33 seconds, when asked about his/her experience in Varanasi, Ranveer Singh says, ‘Today I had such an experience that I am not able to explain it in words. We have been devotees of Lord Shiva all our life and have come to visit Kashi for the first time. Next time I would like to bring my mother also. I should bring my wife also. My mother is very happy. When devotees of Mahadev come to the city of Mahadev, then you can imagine what would have been the experience when we went to Kashi temple. There was a different energy, a different kind of energy. Different vibration, different frequency. When Pandit ji was reciting mantras, when Aarti was performed, a different energy and power comes. It feels inside and everyone is absorbed in that energy. Everyone you see has sparkling eyes. There is glow on his/her face. he/she is saying ‘Har Har Mahadev’ by raising his/her hands like this.

Ranveer Singh further said in the same video that ‘I am so happy to see that this was Modi ji’s purpose. his/her aim was to celebrate his/her rich cultural heritage. Our history, our legacy, because we, India, are now moving towards modernity. We are growing at such a fast pace but we should never forget our roots and our cultural heritage. Hence development, heritage and the same past, present and future. This is a mixture of past and future. Kashi is older than history, older than tradition, so see all the development that has come in such a place. he/she further says in English, which has Hindi translation, ‘This place gives a feeling of past and present together.’
