Abhishek Kapur who plays the role of
Sameer in Zee TV’s Kundali Bhagya revealed,
“Janmashtami has always been one of my favouritefestivals. In fact, since my
childhood I’ve celebrated the festival and I’ve enjoyed every bit of it. Be it
dressing up as Krishna or breaking the matki, I’ve done it all. I remember,
I’ve dressed up as Lord Krishna twice, once in my childhood and once for an
advertisement. Actually, my parents, family and friends also call me Kanhaiya
because I’m surrounded by a lot of female friends. Anyway, coming back to
Janmashtami, it’s a wonderful feeling to celebrate it as I love this festival.
Jai Shri Krishna to all.”
MugdhaChapekar who plays the role of
Prachi in Zee TV’s Kumkum Bhagya mentioned,
“I genuinely enjoy celebrating Janmashtami. It is a very special festival for
me. In fact, I’ve played the role of Radha for a beautiful dance sequence in
one of my earlier shows as well. Apart from celebrating the festival and making
sweets, playing Radha for a special episode was one of my most special memories
of Janmashtami too. I also wish Happy Birthday to my co-star Krishna Kaul every
year and I am looking forward to wishing him and pulling his leg once again
this year.”
Karan Jotwani who plays the role of
Neel in Zee TV’s Qurbaan Hua said, “I consider
Janmashthami to be an extremely sacred festival. I have a lot of memories
associated with Janmasthami. One of the highlights of the year for me when I
was young had to be dressing up as Lord Krishna on this day. I remember one
time while climbing the pyramid to get the matki, I took a terrible fall. But
it was all in the spirit of fun and festivities. I participate at the
'MatkiTodo' tradition every year and I try my best to climb to the too
successfully. But as I grew older and heavier, the team couldnot keep up with
lifting me very well. Nowadays mostly I'm at the bottom of the pyramid. But I
still celebrate and participate in the fun and frolic of this festival. These
days, religion and customs are also changing and its more inclusive of gender
equalitu. Now, girls too participate and take the 'MatkiTodo' tradition ahead
and I must say they give the boys a tough competition. Later all of us savour
the snacks and sweets made especially for Janmashthami followed by a grand
Janmashthami special lunch. I am ever so pumped and excited around this time of
the year and celebrate Janmashthami in full power."
Kanika Mann who plays the role of
Guddan in Zee TV’s GuddanTumse Na Ho Payegarevealed,“As
a kid Jansmashtami was a big festival and on this day, back at home in Panipat
all the temples in the city would be decorated and lit with diyas. As a family
we would step out and visit each of these temples to seek blessings and see all
the different decorations each temple would put up. A mela would also be
organized and me and my siblings would always be excited to buy toys from
there. We would add it to our collection and before the next Janmashtami would
compare which toy we must buy next. Sometimes I would also dress up as Radha to
visit the neighbourhood temples. While we might not be able to have the same
celebration this time due to the lockdown precautions, we are looking forward
to having an aarti on set and maybe indulge in a few delicious sweets
Nishant Singh Malkani who plays the
role of Akshat in Zee TV’sGuddanTumse Na Ho Payega mentioned,
“Janmashtami always reminds me of the time when I used to
dress up as Krishna for school plays. Since the festival comes during the
monsoon season, the context of our play was in and around Krishna protecting
the small houses and nature from the rains. That’s the fondest memory I have of
this festival. Apart from that as a family we would visit different temples on
this day to see their décor around Krishna’s swing. The celebrations this time
are going to definitely be a little mellow and mostly on our set. Our track in
GuddanTumse Na Ho Payega has a very fascinating twist around Guddan and her
child. So, while we are shooting for that, we would have our own little festive
fun.”
