USA : Julia Roberts declared on Elle magazine that she and her entire family are practicing Hindus, making her the most prominent convert to one of America’s increasingly prominent religions. “I’m definitely a practicing Hindu,” says Roberts, who grew up with a Catholic mother and Baptist father.

Roberts, 42, tells the fashion magazine that she and husband Danny Moder and their three children, 5-year-old twins Phinnaeus and Hazel and 3-year-old Henry, all go to a Hindu temple to “chant and pray and celebrate.”

According to reports, Roberts has been interested in yoga for quite some time. She was in Haryana (India) in September last to shoot “Eat, Pray, Love” in an ashram. In January 2009, she sported a “bindi” (vermillion mark on forehead) during her trip to India. She has a production company called “Red Om Films.”

Even Julia Roberts is hoping for some improvement in her next life — though many of us would wonder how that could be possible. “Golly, I’ve been so spoiled with my friends and family in this life,” she tells Elle. “Next time I want to be just something quiet and supporting.”
