New Year feature: Celebrities talk to JYOTHI VENKATESH about their New Year celeberation Plans!

Navin Prabhakar: I am shooting on 31st December at Konkan and then will go to Goa with my friends. On the day of the New Year, we will visit the Goa temple and take blessings and will go back to Mumbai. My New Year resolution is to wake up early in the morning at 5 am and do yoga and go to the gym every day. I want to keep myself focused on maintaining my fitness. I also want to focus more on acting, I am coming up with a show named 2 hours of non-stop laughter with Navin Prabhakar, it's a theatrical show. The way people have loved me in the last 17-18 years the coming year too, it's going to be fun. Disciplining myself in fitness and acting and staying focused is going to be my New Year's resolution.

Aly Goni: 2022 was good to me and I am sure 2023 will also be good to me. I didn’t take up Tv shows in 2022 I am working on something so when the right time comes I will talk about it in 2023. I intend to do a good OTT project I would be in Jammu on New Year with my family. There is no substitute for celebration without family. Life is all about loving your family. I also read covid news we should follow all precautions needed, we must value life, and we must count our blessings. Life is here and now. Everyone should work hard and live life one day at a time. You should know what makes you happy and peaceful. You should always follow your heart.

Adaa Khan: New years mostly I'm thinking of being with friends and family. I will be here only because I just came back. I had gone to Muscat, and Kashmir so now because of the covid scare I am just thinking of just avoiding it. I have never made any resolutions. All the resolutions that we make get broken. So probably I just feel that let things happen on their own. it gets Jinx and it never happens. So I am super superstitious about it. I just believe in going with the flow and staying in the moment, living in the moment.

Karan Singh Chhabra: I will probably have a house party with my friends. On the 1st day of the year, I always visit the Gurudwara Sahib in Andheri west and eat langar and pray for the year to be a good one. I have been traveling for shoots and shows in the last 5 months so traveling is not on my mind, currently. I would be celebrating in Mumbai with close friends and we will go out on a drive to the sea-link later in the night. My colleagues and friends from the industry are traveling. As far as my New Year resolutions go, to wake up on time in the morning is my first one. Every year, I promise this to myself and end up breaking this resolution within a few days. But this time I will send a "good morning" message to all my friends early morning.

Anantica Sahir: This year we are going to Abu Dhabi and Dubai. We always try and travel during this time of the year and we are doing just that. So it will be a middle-eastern new year this time. I am going with my husband Ssudeep Sahir and my son Arwaann. I also have two of my closest friends living in Dubai so I am really looking forward to seeing them too. I have many resolutions. But two most important things that pop up on my mind are to be less anxious and be more calm and the second one is to start some form of exercise regime. Although I am pretty certain my resolution won’t last more than a week as usual.

Mitaali Nag: As I have a 5-year-old son, now all vacation plans depend upon his school holidays. I love to celebrate the new year with my family. Till we had Rudransh, we used to spend Christmas and New Year in Koh Samui, Thailand with family and close friends. Then Covid hit and travel took a break. This year things are normal, but we can’t travel abroad as Rudransh has to resume school from the 2nd of January. So, we would celebrate the New Year in India. We are certainly celebrating the new year out of Mumbai as travel has become normal with no restrictions. As I mentioned earlier, I like celebrating New years with my family. I am looking forward to doing the same this year too. My New Year’s resolution is to start my day at 5 am in the morning. I want my body to get used to the circadian rhythm. It will help me stay fit, and give me extra time to use productively, on myself or my work.

Akash Sharma: I am going to Spain for the New Year celebration and will celebrate the year with my friends. Usually, every day is normal for me but New Year is like a festival so I will make it like a festival and wish for the coming year to work hard and progress further.

Ekta Sharma: I have not planned anything yet, on New Year, I'm mostly at home or going to a house party. I'm in Mumbai only with my daughter and mother. People make a lot of resolutions but I will try to stick to my one resolution to start yoga and meditation again. I will try to love myself more as I feel if we love ourselves then only we can love others.
