Celebrating the 1st of every festival in the first year of marriage has been a tradition in every family for as long as I can remember. Karwachauth being one of them. Every karwachauth, i would sit behind my mother, watch her perform the aarti, look at Chanda mama and then at papa from across the channi , dress up and apply mehendi. I’d also wake up for the sargi. I found it fascinating!"

She further added, "All that while thinking to myself, I want this,For me. So today, I tick one more thing off my bucket list. The 10 year old me is shy and blushing! He’s good looking also, now that’s the cherry on top! P.S. Being married (to the right person) was also on my bucket list :) and I’m happy to announce that it's going splendidly."
