Yami Gautam wants her child to brace their traditions and rituals
Often actress Yami Gautam drops pictures of celebrating several Indian festivals and taking part in the traditions and rituals she was born into. In an exclusive interview with DNA, the expecting mother stated that she also wants her child to spirit and essence of Indian festivals in the way she and her husband Aditya Dhar do. She said, “I think as a parent you always want your child to grow up in the same traditions and rituals and customs that we did. At least Aditya and I would want that because it was very personal to each and every family."
The OMG 2 actress added that she hopes to pass on whatever they have grown up observing following and respecting. Talking about the festival of colors, she opined, “So, for Holi, as I said, before playing we offer the first color to our deity and then offer Prasad and then wish all the elders. I hope that in the future when our child or anybody from that future generation comes of age, they're there able to enjoy it in the same spirit and essence and with that same innocence that we got to enjoy.”
Yami Gautam shares her fondest childhood memory
In the same interview, Yami went back in time and recalled how as a kid, she would play with colours on Holi with her friends from her neighbourhood. “We didn't need anything fancy, we didn't need any music, we would just be looking forward to who's going to start the coloring and that was really fun,” she recalls.
The actress added that her mother would not send her outside without putting oil in her hair and face. Since there wasn’t any trend of organic colors back then, they would be left with color stains after celebrating the festival. On returning home, they would binge on the homemade Gujiyas, the taste of which she can never forget.
