Neha Joshi, essaying Yashoda in &TV’s ‘Doosri Maa’, says, “Although I’m from Maharashtra, this yr my festive celebrations will likely be within the pink metropolis, Jaipur. I really benefit from the festive vibe despite the fact that I don’t significantly get pleasure from enjoying with colors. So, I plan to discover town and witness its festive spirits at their finest on the Elephant Festival. The competition is well known throughout Holi, the place elephants are wearing rugs and ornamented with fairly accents and jewels. Their our bodies and trunks get painted, and a procession of elephants passes by the streets. A band performs songs and drums to indicate the festive temper. Even although I sit up for collaborating on this distinctive competition, I’ll miss my mom, Puran Poli. In Maharashtra, there’s a custom of creating puran poli on that day. It is a candy, fried flatbread full of a filling of yellow gram and sugarcane jaggery. It factors to the competition’s agrarian origins as a harvest competition. I find it irresistible a lot that I am unable to resist consuming all of it day (laughs). I’ve determined to make it myself this yr and serve it to my prolonged household right here. I want everybody a joyful Holi.”
Yogesh Tripathi, essaying Daroga Happu Singh, says, “It is my favourite festival of the year. I am from Uttar Pradesh, where Holi is a two-day festival celebrated with zeal and zest. Apart from playing with colours and throwing water at each other, eating gujiya (sweet) is my favourite thing to do on this day. It is a classic North Indian sweet made of crisp, flaky pastry filled with khoya (milk solids) and nuts. This year I will be preparing gujiya myself. I will also play colours with my wife and kids in our building. During Holi, our society’s swimming pool gets filled with coloured water. I will spend as much time in the pool as possible with my son since he is excited about it. Hamare sabhi darshako ko holi ki dhero shubhkaamnaye.”
Shubhangi Atre essaying Angoori Bhabi, shares, “I prepare a lot of sweets and snacks for my friends every year to celebrate the festival, and this year will be no different. I will prepare some treats from Bhopal, my hometown. On my list are gujiyas, jalebis, besan ke laddoos, chakli, and Bhakarwadis.
