Sonali Naik aka Savitri Mai from
Gatbandhan, “GudiPadwa
is the time of great rejoicing and festivity as the entire family comes
together for the celebration. As a tradition, all of us do the puja together in
the morning and post that all the ladies prepare the traditional delicacies
like kheer, pooranpoli and halw. This year, I am planning to make these dishes
for my ‘Gathbandhan’ family as well. As it is considered auspicious to buy jewelry
on this day, Iam thinking of purchasing something, if not very exquisite but
atleast something small to keep the tradition alive. I would like to wish
everyone Happy GudiPadwa and prosperous new year."
Rajesh Shringarpure aka MoropantTambe in
KhoobLadi Mardaani Jhansi Ki Rani: “GudiPadwa has always been very close to my heart because it involves
the coming together of our entire family. It marks the beginning of the new
year in the Marathi calender and is considered as a very auspicious day .
I am looking forward to dressing up
in my traditional attire and devour in some authentic Marathi sweets.”
Anuja Sathe aka Janaki in KhoobLadi
Mardaani Jhansi Ki Rani : “It’s the
beginning of a new year in our Marathi calendar. The gudi that we put outside
the door is a symbol of success, a sign of our raising standards of life and
prospering in life. On this day I dress up in the traditional Maharashtrian
attire, do the pooja and prepare delicious food and sweets for my family. According to me, it is one of the brightest
day that brings in a lot positivity. I would like to wish everybody a very happy
GudiPadwa and hope this New Year brings in a lot of happiness and laughter..”
Manav Gohil aka Hanumant Singh in Kesari Nandan:
“Every year our entire
family comes together and we arrange a
special pooja for the day. The
celebration of the GudiPadwa festival is related to prosperity and
well-being, I thank God for giving me all that he has and I hope he continues
to shower his blessings upon my family and me. I wish all my viewers a very
happy and prosperous new year.”
