reminisce
childhood
memories
of
their
Janmashtami
celebrations.
Yukti
Kapoor,
essaying
the
role
of
Sub
Inspector
Karishma
Singh
in
Maddam
Sir
said,
“Every
year
during
my
childhood
days
we
used
to
visit
a
mandir
near
my
house
which
used
to
organize
a
festive
set
up
to
narrate
the
birth
story
of
Lord
Krishna.
Many
people
used
to
also
dress
up
as
different
characters
and
I
used
to
enjoy
donning
the
look
of
Radha
while
my
best
friend
would
don
the
look
of
Lord
Krishna.
We
used
to
have
a
lot
of
fun
and
it
continues
to
be
a
fond
memory
that
I
cherish
this
day.
I
had
witnessed
Dahi
Handi
for
the
very
first
time
when
I
had
shifted
to
Mumbai.
Hats
off
to
the
people
who
pick
up
the
courage
to
form
a
human
pyramid
so
massive.
It
is
a
thrilling
experience
to
watch
people
break
the
matka.”
Aditya
Deshmukh,
essaying
the
role
of
Special
Agent
Faizi
in
Ziddi
Dil
–
Maane
Na
shared,
“Usually,
during
Janmashtami,
I
recall
always
having
exams
during
this
time
of
the
year
and
missing
out
on
all
thecelebrations.
Though,
I
fondly
remember
my
father
making
a
prasad
called
sundim
at
mid-night.
This
is
a
tradition
followed
in
a
Brahmin
Maharashtrian
family.
Making
the
prasad
plays
a
very
important
role
during
Janmashtami
as
it
marks
Lord
Krishna’s
birth.
I
also
fondly
recall
enjoying
participating
in
Dahi
Handi
the
next
day.
I
still
feel
the
thrill
of
climbing,
forming
human
pyramids
and
breaking
the
matka’s.
Those
days
hold
some
very
precious
memories.
If
only
life
had
a
rewind
button,
I
would
like
to
bring
back
those
fun
days
from
my
childhood.”
Anup
Upadhyay,
essaying
the
role
of
Jaldiram
Sharma
in
Jijaji
Chhat
Parr
Koii
Hai
said,
“In
my
hometown
in
Ganj
Dundwara,
Janmashtami
was
always
celebrated
extravagantly.
All
the
temples
used
to
be
fully
decorated
and
everyone
used
to
ensure
to
decorate
their
respective
houses.
My
friends
and
I
used
to
collect
prasad
from
every
household
and
enjoy
eating
them.
Mithai
is
every
child’s
favourite,
it
continues
to
be
mine
and
this
day,
there
was
restriction
of
eating
sweets.
The
entire
city
would
be
full
of
life
throughout
the
day
which
we
all
used
to
be
very
fond
of.
To
date,
I
fondly
cherish
those
days.”
“Over
the
years,
I
have
enjoyed
watching
Dahi
Handi
in
Mumbai
and
would
like
to
specially
request
my
fans
and
viewers
to
be
extra
cautious
while
forming
a
human
pyramid
for
Dahi
Handi,
this
year.
My
best
wishes
to
one
all
on
this
auspicious
occasion
of
Janmashtami.”
Sayantani
Ghosh,
essaying
the
role
of
Daljeet
Kaur
Bagga
in
Tera
Yaar
Hoon
Main
said,
“Growing
up,
I
have
visited
temples
and
been
part
of
a
lot
of
rituals
and
ceremonies.
We
used
to
celebrate
every
festival
with
a
lot
of
gaiety
and
splendour.
I
value
the
teachings
of
Lord
Krishna
and
resonate
with
them.
His
teachings
are
so
relevant
and
true.
Plus,
his
playful
and
colourful
personality
makes
him
so
real
and
adds
so
much
to
his
allure.
This
day
is
his
celebration
and
over
my
years
of
living
in
Mumbai,
I’ve
witnessed
Janmashtami
been
celebrated
beautifully.
When
I
witnessed
my
first
human
pyramid
for
the
Dahi
Handi
event,
I
was
completely
dumbfounded.
It
was
beyond
my
imagination
that
something
like
this
can
be
done.
The
energy
in
that
event
is
unlike
anything
I’ve
seen.
This
year,
I
want
to
give
my
best
wishes
to
all
my
fans
and
viewers
and
wish
everyone
a
Happy
Janmashtami.”
