Actress Shalini Kapoor Sagar who is currently seen in TV show Iss Ishq Ka Rab Rakha, starring Fahmaan Khan and Sonakshi Batra in lead roles. She essays the role of Meher Bajwa and talks about celebrating
Durga Puja.
She said, "I'm missing the Durga Puja celebration in Kolkata. I mostly used to visit the city of joy during this time of the year and enjoy the Pujo vibes.
My parents lived in Kolkata, post my father's demise my Mom has shifted to Mumbai with us. Earlier we planned that we would be going to celebrate pujo there but I couldn't get time as I'm shooting here. But here in Mumbai, I'll be visiting the Devi temple or pujo mandap to offer my prayers. Following the rituals of
Navratri festivities, we will also welcome nine young girls to our home and serve them food along with gifts."
She continued, "I want my daughter Aadyya to stay connected to her roots and so will make sure that at least she goes out for pandal hopping with my husband or sister.. whoever can manage time from their schedules. I'm also teaching her to read Durga mantras."
The actress is enjoying festivities on set. She shared, "Our show focuses on Punjabi and Bengali culture. So we will be shooting the Durga Puja track soon. I'm so excited and looking forward to it I'm also glad that I'm part of the Navratri event organised by our channel. I got to see Maa Durga's idols and offered some heartfelt prayers.
She concluded by sharing Durga Puja greetings.
She added, "May the divine mother empower us with strength, wisdom, and happiness. May she provide us with immense strength to overcome all the obstacles in life and bring all the happiness of this world into our lives and bring contentment? I hope and pray to stay connected with my Durga Shakti always. Happy Durga Puja."
