Rashami Desai: We take garba (the Goddess) home as per Gujarati rituals. Dandiya is very special. We let our hair down. We celebrate with friends and family. I often travel to some cities too as a guest. I enjoy the festive fervour. I love to dress up for the occasion.

Ashish Chowdhry: I believe all festivals are one. My wife makes every festival larger than life. She has puja or plan with friends and family, so she handles that department and I go with the flow. I do not have any rituals since I was a kid. I believe in every Gods of every religion. Recently, I have been approached for many events and I haven't accepted any till now. But maybe my analysis was wrong and people do want it so I might start do it now. I have understood that TV has become a huge platform and people look upto you. I am starting to consider accepting these opportunities.

Sunayana Fozdar: I was a part of Navratri mainly during my college days. Navratri was more about dressing up, meeting friends and watching other professionals play. It's one of the most colorful rich festivities for Gujratis. I usually coudn't go all the nine days but I try my best to go three days every year for sure.

Jaswir Kaur: I love Navratri because it's an ultimate dance festival. Of course, Durga puja, Dussera and other rituals are there but I like the way it is celebrated simultaneously. As I love dance, I make sure to go for garba at least one of nine nights. Also, I get invitations from various places to be the guest. I accept it gratefully.

Pratyusha Banerjee: I have many memories of the pujas, and it’s difficult to choose one. It’s the festival where the entire family comes together and has the best of the time. However the time when we celebrated Durga Puja in the Bigg Boss house is memorable because I got every nostalgic and was missing home terribly. But yes, performing the dhunuchi dance with the housemates was surely fun.”
