As the vibrant festival of Navratri approaches, it`s a time of joy, devotion, and celebration for many across India. The festival, dedicated to worshipping Goddess Durga and celebrating the triumph of good over evil, holds a special place in the hearts of people from all walks of life. Celebrating this spirit, tv artists share their fond memories and personal experiences of celebrating Navratri. From fasting with family to dancing the night away at a garba events, these heartfelt recollections capture the essence of the festival and the deep connection they feel with these cherished traditions.
Garima Parihar, who essays the role of Deepti in Pushpa Impossible, said, “Navratri holds a special place in my heart. My mom always performs the pooja, and I’ve been a devoted follower of Devi Maa since childhood. Fasting with my mom and participating in the festivities, like feeding the little girls, are cherished memories for me. Although I won’t be able to enjoy Garba nights with friends this year due to my shoot for Pushpa Impossible, the positive energy of Navratri and my devotion to Devi Maa make this festival truly unforgettable.”
