People of Indian-origin often take their cultures to the countries they start living in, and an example of this is Indian festivals is the nation's festivals being celebrated across the world. Recently, NASA scientist Dr Swati Mohan was hailed for wearing a bindi, despite being in the United States of America for many years. The similar gesture of two Indian-origin sisters interning with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) impressed Kangana Ranaut.

Recently, a scientist named Kathy Lueders, lead of NASA's human spaceflight program, had shared pictures of two sisters Puja and Pratima Roy, who were majoring in Computer Engineering Technology at New York universities and interning at NASA Glenn Research simultaneously. Apart from the two wearing a bindi, the highlight was that they had kept the statues of numerous deities at their study/workspace.
Kangana was delighted seeing the pictures, calling them as 'Virat Hindus' and that anyone with a scientific bend of mind was likely to be 'inclined to Hinduism'. The actor added that it was 'lovely' for her to see them wearing bindis too. "Devotion is the most profound dimension of intelligence," the Queen star wrote.

Previously, Dr Swati Mohan's appearance in a bindi, as she led the landing of NASA's Perseverance rover became a big talking point. She had then stated that it was something that was a part of her and that she was not trying to make any statement with the gesture.
Meanwhile, Kangana Ranaut is known for expressing her views on religion and caste, and often making strong and controversial statements around it. She had recently shared that she had been an atheist and it was while studying science, that the 'kundalini' practice intrigued her about Hinduism.
