Winter is here and the festival of the season is also here. Lohri is the festival of harvest, prosperity, and joy and everyone is in the mood to enjoy the festival. While people in the northern states celebrate Lohri the ones in the southern call it Pongal. The morning has started on a blissful note and everyone is in a happy mood, that is the vibe the festival brings. So we have all the celebrities talking about their best memories. So let's see what do your favorite actors have to say about the festival.
Mohammad Nazim: When I was a kid, we used to gather along with our friends and family, around a bonfire. We used to do Bhangda all night and click photos. It feels good sitting around the bonfire with your loved ones. The food, sweets and especially groundnuts are what makes Lohri special and different. Lohri in Mumbai is different from Lohri in Punjab. I miss all the fun in Punjab, but my work is in Mumbai so I don't mind celebrating here.
Shivin Narang: This time I may be celebrating Lohri with my family. I will also celebrate it on the set of my show, Internet Wala Love. We have a very major Lohri sequence also coming in the show. I have so many memories of celebrating Lohri with loved and dear ones. It used to be celebrated with much pomp and show in Delhi. I remember collecting wood and other utensils for the ceremony. Everyone would sit together and do pooja, eat revadi and mungfali till late in the night. It is great fun celebrating it with friends, family, and neighbours.
Ssharad Malhotra: I will be celebrating Lohri at my cousin's house as they have a beautiful open space right next to the beach. Punjabi songs, some bhangra, lots of Punjabi food and a complete Punjabi festive vibe will be at its peak. This is how I am going to celebrate Lohri this year. Talking about memories, Lohri has always been amazing. My most favourite part is to dance and celebrate with family and friends.
Kamya Punjabi: Lohri is one festival, I look forward to eagerly. Lohri brings back childhood memories of when our family would gather around the lit fire and offer our prayers to the lord. I ll be celebrating the festival with my daughter this year, we ve even planned to don the chef s hat and cook a delightful meal for the celebration. I m also celebrating the festival on Shakti s set where everyone is like an extended family, we might have a special lunch on that day as everyone is excited to eat a few homemade delicacies.
Shehzad Deol: Every year, I celebrate Lohri with my parents and will be doing the same this year too. Lohri has a totally different feel, we play Lohri songs , do bhangra and even have my favorite Makke di roti and Sarso da saag. My fondest memory of Lohri is sitting around the bonfire with my family and friends. We used to have gajak, revri and phulle. This is what makes Lohri one of my favourite festivals.
Shadman Khan: I actually have a lot of memories around the festival. Since I hail from UP the festival brings back my childhood memories. The entire village used to come together and that was one of the best feelings. However, since I have come to the metro the festival has sort of lost its charm. I miss it but I try to be with my friends from north to feel home.
Himanshu Malhotra: Lohri is one festival, I look forward to eagerly. Lohri brings back childhood memories of when our family would gather around the lit fire and offer our prayers to the lord. I ll be celebrating the festival with my daughter this year, we ve even planned to don the chef s hat and cook a delightful meal for the celebration. I m also celebrating the festival on Shakti s set where everyone is like an extended family, we might have a special lunch on that day as everyone is excited to eat a few homemade delicacies.
Jasmin Bhasin: Lohri is the festival which I wait for every year. I love the food, the celebration and the dance which is at its peak in Lohri. We also have a bonfire and binge on phulle, revadi, and Sarson Da Saag and Makke Di rotti. Talking about memories, I would say that the chilly atmosphere of Rajasthan at the time of Lohri has always added to the charm of the festival and always made it an amazing and memorable one. So masti, dance, eating and enjoying are the indispensable parts of Lohri.
Akash Choudhary: Hailing from north, Lohri has always been significant in my life. In childhood, it was always about the get together and the have fun games and dance, and 'tilgattis' . Being a winter born, the idea of light and fire in bone-chilling cold has always been exciting. Now that we have got a busy schedule, Lohri again comes as a reason to come together and share the joy of light and warmth.
Mohit Malhotra: Lohri is very special for me as it s one of the prominent festivals for Punjabis. In our building, we have a lot of Punjabis and we all celebrate along with our families. We burn the wood, light the bonfire, dance around it, do some Bhangra and have a big blast. We also eat revadi and phulle while enjoying the bonfire. The festival is all about enjoying and celebrating with near and dear ones.
