Krishna Janmashtami: Star Bharat Actors Share Excitement & Memories

As Janmashtami approaches, excitement fills the air as Lord Krishna enters with abundant blessings and divine energy. With every mouth whispering "HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA," our celebrities from Star Bharat are reminiscing about their cherished childhood memories and celebration plans for this special occasion. They share delightful stories about their favorite dishes and recall the thrill of competing in Dahi Handi competitions, evoking a treasure trove of joyful memories. Celebrating the essence of Janmashtami, these heartfelt reflections remind us of the joy and magic of this festive time!

Aayushi reflects on the significance of Janmashtami in her life:

“Janmashtami holds profound spiritual importance for me, serving as a beautiful reminder of the divine love and wisdom of Lord Krishna. This special day encourages me to reflect on his teachings and inspires me to strive to become a better person. This year, I plan to celebrate by attending a puja at my local temple, fully immersing myself in the festivities. I also look forward to preparing traditional delicacies like makkhan and mishri, which add a delicious touch to the celebration and connect me to the customs and culture surrounding this auspicious day.”

She adds, “Reflecting on my past, I fondly remember portraying the character of Radha in a school play when I was younger; it was truly a fun and enriching experience. One teaching from Lord Krishna that has significantly influenced my life is the importance of selfless action, or Nishkam Karma. His wisdom encourages us to perform our duties without attachment to the outcomes, a perspective that has helped me stay focused and motivated in my personal endeavors. This essence of doing good for the sake of goodness resonates deeply within me, guiding me through life’s challenges and embracing the journey with an open heart.”

Siddhant describes his Janmashtami celebration plans:

“Having grown up in Mumbai, Janmashtami is celebrated on a grand scale, and the excitement and devotion fill the air. One of the most exhilarating experiences was competing to break the handi. I’ve bruised my knees and elbows multiple times in the attempt, but that was the most fun part! Janmashtami remains one of my favorite and most memorable times of childhood, overflowing with joy and happiness. Even now, with my packed schedule shooting for Shaitani Rasmein, I won’t let the day pass without celebrating. This work is a blessing from Lord Krishna, and it deserves to be celebrated!”

Siddhant shared, "I have played the role of Krishna three times. First, I played all the avatars of Vishnu in a web series, then I portrayed Krishna in a show for Doordarshan. The third time, I performed this role on stage almost 200 times for my Broadway theater play 'Mahabharat: An Epic Tale.' During this time, when I read the essence of the Gita, which states, 'Yada yada hi dharmasya glanir bhavati bharata, abhyutthanam adharmasya tad atmanam srijami aham,' people became so emotional that they even touched my feet. The lessons I have learned from them have always inspired me. The first is, 'Do your duty without attachment to the results.' The second, 'Shathe shathyam samacharet,' means one should behave wickedly toward the wicked. I follow both of these principles in my life."
