Exclusive- Harshita Kashyap on celebrating Ganeshotsav says, "Celebrating this joyful festival with eco-friendliness honours tradition and protects our nature"

Actress Harshita Kashyap, who was previously seen in the television show, Molkki - Rishton Ki Agnipariksha, hosts Lord Ganesh for 10 days. India has been celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi since September 7 and will bid adieu on Anant Chaturdashi 17th September.

She said, "From the concept of divine power and authority, this colourful and cheerful festival is celebrated as the birthday of Lord Ganesha, the elephant-headed God known for removing obstacles and the deity of happy beginnings. For me, the festival is very special because I have my birthday on 11th September which falls around Ganeshotsav. The festival is the feast of devotion where we pour our hearts out and engage ourselves in the performance of rituals and prayer, and impress the lord in every possible way."

Talking about her celebrations she continued, "I celebrate the festival of Ganesh Chaturthi with great pompousness and grandeur. I also take care that any of my activities don't harm our environment. I bring Bappa for 10 days and each day I cook something yummy for him. The festivity is marked by colourful decorations, heartfelt prayers, and joyful community gatherings, exemplifying the spirit of devotion and cultural heritage. I feel celebrating this joyful festival with eco-friendliness honours tradition and protects our nature."

Harshita, known for featuring in movies like 3 Shyaane, and Mandbuddhi among others has been celebrating the festival for 7 years. She added, "I've been celebrating the festival for the last 7 years. I feel blessed and delighted when Bappa comes home. Many of my friends, neighbours, and family members come to my place to see him and take blessings. It's one of my favourite times and I wait for the festivals. I'm blessed that Bappa has blessed me on the professional front too, soon I'm shooting for a music video."




Harshita started her career as a model and later contested in the reality TV show Splitsvilla Season 8.
