The Dhaakad actor reminisced about the old days and wrote, "Growing up I saw my dadi, mother and chachi almost every woman around me fast on Karwa Chauth... they applied Mehandi, painted their nails, sang songs and dressed like brides... the whole ambience of the house changed, men joked about being their Gods yet get no food on that day because women didn't enter the kitchen... Subtle romantic glances were also exchanged between them even residual friction or grudges seem to disappear with jokes about food and moon not showing up... I remember those days fondly." The Queen actor further wished her fans and followers a Happy Karwa Chauth. She also asked those who do not believe in the festival to not ruin it for those who believe in it.
