No Diwali chutti for Bidaai
The star cast of Bidaai is working day and night these days as the show has now become an hour long. But actress Parul, who plays Ragini, is a little nervous as she will not get holiday for Diwali thanks to the grueling schedule.
"I do not think we will get holidays on Diwali. I wanted to go to my native town at least for one day as it is so much fun on Diwali over there. We celebrate it traditionally. First day we have a grand Laxmi puja and then we shop a lot. We invite neighbours and relatives for lunch. Then on the third day it is a very big day as we celebrate Bhai Duj where we bring home a tree with thorns, then we remove the thorns and worship it for our brother so that he will not face any difficulties. More over we chew a bit of that thorn… that basically symbolizes that if we have said any bad thing to him then he will not get affected because of it," informs Parul.
Parul says she enjoys celebrating Diwali at home with her family. "It is real fun to celebrate Diwali traditionally and with all rituals. These things take place only at our native so I enjoy that. Then we go to our Nani's place too to celebrate it. But this year I am going miss this all as I will be shooting," says the actress.
But Chauhan hopes to make up for it on the sets.
"We have planned a hawan on our sets on Diwali day and then we will have lunch with our entire unit. This is what our plan is…let's see what happens," she says.
"Moreover my family also cannot come here, as we have tradition that the eldest married woman of the house performs the Laxmi puja so my mother cannot leave the house and come down here. Also I have told them that if they will come here then I will be busy in my work and will not be able to spend time with them. So it is no use if they come also…" she says sounding disappointed.
All most all daily shows will have only one day off during Diwali week. However since Bidaai is gaining popularity the actors have to work hard to keep that going.
