I love to dress up & celebrate nature's bounty with Punjabi delicacies: Shweta Gulati on Baisakhi

Baisakhi is traditionally celebrated as the new year of the Sikhs. Baisakhi is a harvest festival for the people of Punjab. In Punjab, Vaisakhi marks the ripening of the Rabi crop. This day is celebrated by the farmers as a thanksgiving day, whereby the farmers thank God for the bountiful harvest and also pray for future prosperity. Apart from Punjab and Haryana, the festival of Baisakhi is also very important in North India.

India Forums got in touch with actress Shweta Gulati who is currently seen in Zee TV show ‘Main Hoon Aparajita’, and asked her about the festival. She said, "The Baisakhi festival holds immense importance in my life. It is primarily celebrated as a spring harvest festival in Northern India. Usually, on this occasion, I love to dress up and celebrate nature's bounty with some Punjabi delicacies, from Rajma Chawal to refreshing lassi.”

She added, “On this day, my mother prepares the Sweet Saffron Rice and offers it to God, seeking blessings for a prosperous year ahead. Although I am currently busy shooting for Main Hoon Aparajita, I always make it a point to visit Gurdwara no matter where I am. I wish a very Happy Baisakhi to all my fans. Hoping for the well-being of everyone. May the start of the new year bring new opportunities and hopes for all."

‘Main Hoon Aparajita’ is produced by Bodhi Tree Multimedia Pvt Ltd. The show has a stellar star cast, including actors like Shweta Tiwari, Shweta Gulati, Manav Gohil among others.
