Pooja Hegde shares her fond Navratri memories
With enthusiasm in her eyes, pooja says, "We end up celebrating the entire week, and the ninth day is grand with a big havan in the house." "Navratri is really big in my house," she continues. At our home, we do Bhajans, and food is required. We stay vegetarian for nine days, and as youngsters, I recall going for Dandiya and Garba."
Pooja is reminiscing about her childhood memories of Navratri, and her melancholy is evident. "I haven't been to one in a long now. Among those who went there only for enjoyment was me. And many take Dandiya and Garba pretty seriously. It appears fantastic when you watch it, of course. I have been working for the previous couple of Navratris, so I could not even watch it,” she recalls.
Even though pooja is now an adult, the family's customs remain the same. Not much has altered. That's how customs are made. It's out of repetition. So, nothing has changed; that is what occurs year." pooja is resolved to return home for Dussehra, even if her busy filming schedule this year would prevent her from doing so. It's simply become commonplace. These are vital things, therefore regardless of your schedule, you have to find time for them," she continues.
