As Navratri lights up homes and hearts with colors, devotion, and the rhythm of Garba, actors are also cherishing their fond memories of the festival. Megha Ray, who plays Divya in Divya Prem: Pyaar Aur Rahasya Ki Kahani, shares how Garba feels to her, while Gauri Shelgaonkar, seen as Ghevar in Prathaon Ki Odhe Chunri: Beendani, recalls her Nagpur celebrations.
Megha Ray, who plays Divya in Divya Prem: Pyaar Aur Rahasya Ki Kahani, shared, “Being a Bengali, Durga Puja has always been very special to me. Growing up, my family and I would celebrate it by visiting pandals and enjoying the delicious food served there. It was always an amazing experience to see the huge Durga idol. Even now, whenever possible, I make sure to visit Durga pandal for at least one day with my mother. Keeping the Navratri fast is not common in Bengal, but my mother has adapted to the traditions of the places where she has lived. She has been observing the Navratri fast for many years, and seeing her do it alone made me want to join her. When I was given her company for the first time, it was the most special memory for me. This year, because of my busy shooting schedule, I can’t do fast. But I will definitely celebrate Durga Puja with the time I have.”

Gauri Shelgaonkar, who plays Ghevar in Prathaon Ki Odhe Chunri: Beendani, expressed, “Navratri is very close to my heart because at my home in Nagpur, we always do Devi Sthapana, and it’s such a joy to be part of all the preparations. Every day is filled with aarti, puja, and Garba, which I absolutely love playing. I still remember how my friends and I would start getting ready by 7 or 8 in the evening and dance Garba late into the night. With my mom, I would visit different pandals to seek Devi’s blessings and admire the beautifully crafted idols of the Goddess in her many forms. As an actor, I often imagine myself in a mythological role, and if I ever get the chance, I would love to portray Goddess Parvati. Being a devotee of Lord Mahadev, I deeply admire her grace, beauty, and strength, and bringing her to life on screen would be nothing less than a dream come true.”
Divya Prem: Pyaar Aur Rahasya Ki Kahani follows Divya’s mysterious journey filled with love, secrets, and unexpected twists after she meets Prem. On the other hand, Prathaon Ki Odhe Chunri: Beendani is about Ghevar, a cheerful and independent girl from a small village in Rajasthan.
