MOHIT MALHOTRA SHARES ONAM MEMORIES
Mohit Malhotra, "Onam is a reminder of the importance of family, unity, and the spirit of togetherness that brings everyone closer. It is not just a festival but a way of life that embraces the values of love, harmony, and happiness. As someone who has many friends from South India, I have been fortunate enough to be a part of their celebrations. They have always welcomed me with open arms. The highlight of the celebrations is undoubtedly the scrumptious South Indian cuisine, especially the mouth-watering Pongal dish that is prepared on this special day. I take this opportunity to extend my warmest wishes to all my friends and family celebrating Onam, and hope that this festival brings them an abundance of love, harmony, and happiness."
Here's wishing everyone a very Happy Onam!
