Ram Charan snapped walking barefoot at Mumbai airport

Ram Charan's photos and videos walking barefoot at the Mumbai airport have taken the internet by storm. The Magadheera star has reportedly flown off to the US for the Oscars ceremony. Netizens have been all praise for him as he was seen walking without footwear. 

In the images, Ram Charan sported an all-black look consisting of a traditional kurta and pyjama. Netizens praised him for proudly embracing his culture and roots. This is not the first time that Ram Charan was spotted barefoot. Internet users showered him with loving comments.  

 

Why is Ram Charan barefoot? 

Many on social media have been wondering why is Ram Charan walking barefoot? Since reports suggested that he was jetting off to the US for the Oscars, some thought that this gesture was a result of a 'mannat' he must have kept while praying for RRR's glory at the Oscars. A part of this assumption might be true. 

The real reason behind Ram Charan walking barefoot is that he is following Ayyappa Deeksha. Ram Charan does this every year for 41 or 45 days. This is a Hindu religious observance by the devotees of Swamy Ayyappa before visiting Sabarimala temple in Kerala. For this duration, Ram Charan will be seen wearing only black clothes and walking barefoot.
