Arriving at the Kadri Barebailu Warahi Panjurli and Jarandaya Daiva Utsava along with his wife and two children, Rishab Shetty was part of the rituals that went on from late night until around 4AM. In a rare and powerful moment during the final phase of the celebration, he is said to have poured out his struggles before the daiva (spirit deity), especially during the Panjurli Nema, a traditional spiritual performance ritual. 

The oral message delivered during the ritual reportedly revealed that Rishab is surrounded by enemies across the world and there are people actively trying to destroy his family and sabotage his professional success. The divine message warned of a deep-rooted conspiracy meant to hinder his work and block the fruits of his labor. 

However, the daiva reassured Rishab, stating: “You have come in distress, but the deity you believe in will never abandon you.”

While not explicitly revealing the names of those behind the conspiracy, the daiva promised to protect him from any harm. “Take a vow of service to me,” the deity is said to have instructed, “and I will set things right within five months.”

Seeking solace and divine protection, Rishab and his wife reportedly folded hands and prayed with deep devotion, receiving the daiva’s blessing and assurance in return. 

The actor’s presence at the Daiva Utsava, alongside his family who traveled all the way from Bengaluru, has sparked both public empathy and spiritual curiosity, especially as he stands at a pivotal juncture personally and professionally with Kantara 2 in development.
