Actor Zakir Hussain discussed the historical practice of using spiritual methods to treat illnesses while promoting his new film The Taj Story at a Mumbai hotel. The performer said ancient populations possessed extensive spiritual understanding that guided their approach to healing and daily existence.
Hussain explained that earlier societies relied heavily on spiritual practices because modern pharmaceuticals did not exist. He referenced research suggesting that mantra-based treatments produced genuine results for patients who believed in their effectiveness. The actor argued that contemporary skepticism about spiritual healing stems from diminished faith rather than the methods themselves being ineffective, asserting he could demonstrate their validity.
The courtroom drama features Paresh Rawal as Vishnu Das, a monument tour guide who becomes convinced the Taj Mahal conceals its true origins. His character initiates legal proceedings to contest established historical accounts of the structure. Hussain portrays legal counsel representing the maintenance authority, arguing against Rawal's assertions during trial scenes. The film offers an alternative perspective on the famous mausoleum, suggesting Hindu architectural roots rather than its traditional characterization as a monument to romantic devotion. The production opened in theaters recently.
