Lohri,
the
harvest
festival,
is
celebrated
today
(January
13)
in
India.
On
this
occasion,
Choti
Sarrdaarni
actors
-
Nimrit
Kaur,
Avinesh
Rekhi,
Anita
Raj,
Naagin
4's
Jasmin
Bhasin
and
Shaleen
Bhanot
revealed
their
festival
plans.
Nimrit
Kaur
Ahluwalia,
who
plays
Mehar
in
Choti
Sarrdaarni,
says,
"Every
year
I
visit
Gurudwara
first
thing
in
the
morning
and
will
visit
even
this
year,
depending
on
my
shoot
schedule.
I'll
be
celebrating
the
festival
with
the
cast
and
crew
of
my
show
Choti
Sarrdaarni.
We
also
have
a
major
Lohri
sequence
on
the
show
which
made
me
feel
like
it
was
the
real
celebration."
Choti
Sarrdaarni's
Sarabjit
Gill
aka
Avinesh
Rekhi
says,
"The
best
thing
about
Lohri
is
that
it
falls
in
winter
which
is
my
favourite
season
of
the
year.
I
always
make
sure
that
I
celebrate
this
festival
in
Chandigarh
with
my
family
and
close
friends,
but
this
year
due
to
my
work
commitments
I
will
be
in
Mumbai.
I
love
gorging
on
food,
sweets
and
most
importantly
the
Lohri
special
groundnuts.
I
will
celebrate
the
festival
with
my
wife
and
kids
once
I
am
back
home.
It
feels
good
to
be
sitting
around
the
bonfire
with
all
your
near
and
dear
ones
close
to
you."
Anita
Raj,
who
portrays
the
role
of
Kulwant
Kaur
in
Choti
Sarrdaarni
said,
"Being
a
Punjabi
myself,
I
always
look
forward
to
celebrating
the
festival.
This
year
I
am
shooting,
but
will
celebrate
with
my
family
and
close
friends
after
the
shoot.
Fortunately,
even
on
our
show,
we
are
shooting
for
a
Lohri
sequence
so
we
will
have
a
perfect
pre-lohri
celebration
on
the
sets
itself
with
my
Choti
Sarrdaarni
family.
I
love
sitting
around
the
bonfire
eating
gazak
mithai
and
most
importantly
enjoy
doing
Bhangra
all
night."
Jasmin
Bhasin,
who
is
seen
as
Nayantara
in
Naagin
Bhagya
Ka
Zehreela
Khel
(Naagin
4),
revealed,
"The
most
fun
part
for
me
about
Lohri
is
the
lip-smacking
traditional
sweets.
I
am
a
big-time
foodie,
and
especially
on
Lohri,
I
binge
on
phulle,
revadi,
sarson
da
saag
and
makke
di
rotti.
The
best
memory
I've
had
about
the
festival
is
celebrating
it
in
the
chilly
atmosphere
in
Rajasthan
with
all
the
tradition,
I
will
always
cherish
that
time.
Naagin
4's
Shaleen
Bhanot
said,
"Lohri
has
been
one
of
my
most
beloved
festivals
since
childhood
and
I
have
many
memories
attached
with
it.
We
Punjabis
celebrate
it
with
great
pomp
and
show.
Amongst
all
the
rituals,
sitting
around
the
bonfire
and
the
Punjabi
Dhol
is
my
favourite
part.
This
year
is
going
to
be
special
because
my
parents
are
in
town
and
I
will
be
celebrating
Lohri
with
them
after
a
very
long
time."
