"Festivals Keep Me Rooted": Vardhaan Puri On Celebrating Makar Sankranti & Traditions | EXCL

As India celebrates Makar Sankranti, Pongal, Lohri and Uttarayan, actor Vardhaan Puri reflects on the deeper meaning these festivals hold in his life. For him, these occasions are not just about rituals and sweets, but about staying connected to one's roots.

"Festivals keep me grounded. They remind me of where I come from and the values I've grown up with," says Vardhaan. "In the middle of hectic schedules and city life, these moments bring a sense of warmth and belonging."

The actor shares that he makes it a point to celebrate traditional festivals with family whenever possible, cherishing the simple joys of togetherness, homemade food and heartfelt conversations.
"These celebrations reconnect us with our culture. They teach gratitude, patience and the importance of family," he adds.

Vardhaan believes that Indian festivals beautifully reflect the country's diversity and unity. He feels these traditions play a key role in preserving cultural values across generations.
In a time when fast-paced lifestyles often distance people from their roots, he finds comfort in rituals that slow life down and bring people closer.

As he continues his journey in cinema, Vardhaan says these traditions keep him emotionally balanced and spiritually grounded- a reminder that success feels meaningful only when shared with loved ones.
