In Haridwar, Sylvester Stallone's Family Performs a Shradh

Mr Stallone's half-brother Michael, his wife Michelle, and two others visited Kankhal in Haridwar and performed the ritual

Haridwar: Hollywood superstar Sylvester Stallone's family was in Haridwar last week to perform a prayer ceremony for his son Sage who had died in 2012 from a heart attack.

The 'tithi shraadh' ceremony was performed on October 11 by Prateek Mishrapuri, a Vedic scholar and astrologer who consults many stars in Hollywood.

Mr Stallone had first met Mr Mishrapuri in 2013 through their actor Nicole Kidman, a common friend.

Mr Stallone's half-brother Michael, his wife Michelle, and two others visited Kankhal in Haridwar and performed the ritual and then returned to Philadelphia.

"The tithi shradh is done specifically for those who meet their end tragically and were not at peace," Mr Mishrapuri said.
