'Pretty Woman' star Julia Roberts, who recently converted to Hinduism, says she took up the religion because she was intrigued by it. Roberts had admitted that she became a practising Hindu after visiting India while shooting her upcoming movie 'Eat Pray Love'.
Roberts said that she along with her husband Danny Moder and their three children-- 5-year-old twins Phinnaeus and Hazel and 3-year-old Henry -- go to temples to "chant, pray and celebrate". "I practice. I practice a lot of things. Hinduism is something that I'm very intrigued by and very interested in," Robert said on the 'Good Morning America' show.
She has now become one of the most famous convert since the late George Harrison, a member of the Beatles who embraced Indian mysticism in the 1960s. According to Roberts, her interest in the faith started after she found the photograph of a Hindu guru. "I was so drawn to this picture of this person and I didn't know who he was or what he was about, but I felt a very strong interest. That's the way things come into our lives. They're not these big, great, crashing moments. It's just the little like, 'Hmm, what is this about?'," Roberts said.
