For Arjun Bijlani, Christmas is not just a celebration, but a cherished family tradition filled with warmth, joy, and love. The actor shares, “There’s something magical about the festive season – the sparkle of Christmas lights, the joy of giving, and the little nip in the air. Growing up in Mumbai, I’ve always been surrounded by the Christmas buzz. The city comes alive during this time, and I absolutely love soaking in the festive vibe.”
Since becoming a father nine years ago, the festival holds even greater significance for him. “Earlier, I used to dress up as Santa for my son, which isn’t possible anymore as Ayaan has grown up and knows the truth (smiles). Now, we make it a tradition to keep gifts for him around the beautifully decorated Christmas tree,” he shares, adding, “Our family – my wife Neha, Ayaan, and I – pour our hearts into decorating the tree every year. It’s such a joyous activity that brings us closer, and it’s these little moments that make the season truly special. We spend the day together, meet friends, and create memories that last a lifetime. It’s not just about the gifts but the love and happiness we share.”

When it comes to ringing in the New Year, the actor already has his plans locked in. “Every year, we travel to a new destination to welcome the New Year with a fresh perspective. This year, it’s Goa – my go-to destination for relaxation and rejuvenation. 2024 has been an incredible year for me, both personally and professionally. I had the opportunity to play a doctor in Pyaar Ka Pehla Adhyaya Shiv Shakti, a role that I truly enjoyed. Plus, my stint on Laughter Chefs showcased my culinary skills, which was a unique and fun experience. Life has been nothing short of amazing, and I feel truly grateful. My mantra for everyone is simple – stay positive, do good, feel good, and always wear a smile. And remember, a smile is contagious, so pass it on.”
With Laughter Chefs earning him accolades for his skills in the kitchen, fans have been eager to see if Arjun will be part of its much-anticipated second season. He clarifies, “There’s been a lot of buzz about me joining the second season, but contrary to rumours, I am not participating this time around.”
