Gudi Padwa marks the traditional new year for Marathi and Konkani Hindus. It is a spring-time festival that is popularly celebrated in and near Maharashtra and Goa on the first day of the Chaitra month. Gudi Padwa also marks the start of the New year according to the lunisolar Hindu calendar.

On this festive day, Shraddha Kapoor wishes her fans and hopes that people celebrate it at home with their families amid the coronavirus lockdown. Speaking to Hindustan Times, she shares how she will be celebrating the festival.

“We should take this time to be with family, and pray for everyone’s safety. I am loving this family time as I was craving it. I am looking forward to yummy food, especially shankarpada, which I love. We meet extended families during the Ganeshostav, while Gudi Padwa is more about spending time at home, having til-gul (sesame seeds and jaggery) and doing puja" she shares.

She also took to her social media to wish her fans with a special collage picture. The collage shows three generations: her grandmother, mother and herself dressed in a saree.

The Street Dancer actress also urges people to stay safe during this pandemic. “We all should stay at home, and follow our government’s directives. It will help everyone in the country if we follow the instructions. We should look at it as for the betterment of everyone. We should also help the lesser privileged, pay staff their salaries even if they aren’t coming to work. During the Janta Curfew, we gave food to the people who work in my building as they were unable to arrange for it,” she says.

Shraddha has been home for over a week and says that it’s a blessing in disguise for her as she needed this quality time with her family. “I needed to get in touch with the little things and moments in life, which are actually important but get overlooked due to the fast pace of life. I really needed a break after back-to-back films, so I am making the most of this time,” she concludes.

Here’s wishing all our readers a very happy Ugadi and Happy Gudi Padwa!
