religion/religious views
Mahi Vij does not follow any religion. Talking about this in an interview, he said,
I have been fasting for the last two years. I do not believe in any one religion. I also observe Chaliya (a 40-day fast observed in Sikhism) and go to Gurudwara. I observe Roza (during the month of Ramzan), because it is something I feel like doing. I would say, I felt the calling and so, I started fasting. It feels good, and I feel all the good things happening to me.
