Hollywood superstar Julia Roberts says she is now a practising Hindu. Actress, who was born to a Baptist and Catholic couple in the Bible Belt of the US, speaking to the September issue of Elle magazine, said she goes to the temple to "chant, pray and celebrate."

The 42-year-old actress, who won a million hearts with Pretty Woman and an Oscar with Erin Brockowich, took to Hinduism during the shooting of her upcoming film, 'Eat, Pray and Love' last year.

In the movie, she plays a divorced woman who travels to Italy for food, India for spirituality and Bali, where she finds love. In the interview, Robert also spoke of reincarnation. "I've been so spoiled with my friends and family in this life. Next time I want to be just something quiet and supporting," she said, Times of India reports.

"I'm definitely a practicing Hindu," says Roberts, adding that she takes her entire brood – including husband Danny Moder and their kids Henry, 3, and 5-year-old twins Phinnaeus and Hazel – to temple on a regular basis.

And since Hindus believe their souls can be reincarnated, Roberts hopes to come back in a life opposite of her own celebrity lifestyle.

"Golly, I've been so spoiled with my friends and family in this life," the 42-year-old actress says. "Next time I want to be just something quiet and supporting."

For now, Roberts is making the best out of her own life, which includes not conforming to plastic-surgery obsessed Hollywood, according to New York Daily News.
