As the bright festival of Navratri approaches, many in India experience excitement, devotion, and celebration. The celebration, which honours Goddess Durga and celebrates the triumph of good over evil, has a particular place in the hearts of people from all walks of life. In an exclusive chat with mid-day, Paresh Rawal opens up about his fond memories of playing garba and why he doesn't attend garba pandals as a guest. 

Paresh Rawal: Bhakti ka dhanda nahi hona chahiye

When asked about his plans for celebrating the festival, he shared, "I'll be at home during Navratri. I am not against the festival; I am against the commercialisation of Navratri. Only that, it is a very pious festival and I support it wholeheartedly. I believe bhakti honi chahiye, bhakti ka dhanda nahi hona chahiye."
