But the actress was recently in Delhi to celebrate Durga Puja with her family. Being a professional, Sriti Jha had applied for her leave months back. This is also because Sriti had missed the celebration last year for she had gone to Guwahati for the promotion of her serial "Jyoti". "There was no way I would have missed the celebration this year too. And I can't put my team into trouble by asking for leave on a short notice. You won't believe but I had applied for my leaves about two months back, even though we can inform the director about 10-12 days in advance. But I understand my responsibilities well and thought a two-month notice made sense. Fortunately, the director and the producer had no issues," she explains.
So how does it feel being back in Delhi? "Frankly, I have no words to explain my excitement. During this period Chitranjan Park becomes a mini Bengal with its pandals and delicious food. This year, we had put up a stall showcasing Rabindranath Tagore's library. In fact, just the other day I was speaking to my co-star Dhruv and I told him how much I wanted to cry, obviously out of elation. I'm sure you too can make out from my voice how excited I am," she says. Did she perform the Dhunochi dance? "How could have I not? It was great. Even though I inhaled smoke, I didn't stop performing it. It is the faith that helps you not give up," she replied.
Sriti also told us that she had got idols of ma Durga to present to her friends and colleague. As she walked towards the bedi (where the idol is placed) to receive the blessing of mother goddess.
