Excited as it’s my son’s first Lohri: Rohit Purohit

For Rohit Purohit and his actress-wife Sheena Bajaj, who were blessed with a baby boy in September last year, this Lohri will be extra special. Talking about their plans, Rohit tells us, “I am shooting for a daily soap. But after the shoot, I’ll go and celebrate Lohri with them (my son Aarush and my wife Sheena). It is Aarush’s first Lohri, so it feels more special. I will attend the bonfire in my building. I look forward to eating til ladoo, gajak and rewari. For dinner, I might have sarson da saag with makki di roti for a perfect Lohri feel.”

‘Have unforgettable memories of celebrating Lohri in Jaipur’

The Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai actor, who hails from Jaipur, fondly remembers how he used to celebrate the festival in his hometown. “My home in Jaipur is situated in a colony which has a lot of Punjabis. So, Lohri always used to be a grand celebration with all the families, who used to gather around the bonfire and enjoy the festivities till late night. Those memories are unforgettable. On Lohri, I love eating besan ke laddoo and til ladoo.” Rohit also misses Jaipur during winter. He shares, “In Jaipur, winter is my favourite time of the year. I miss being there during winter and relishing dal baati churma, my all-time favourite . This year, I will also miss flying kites the day after Lohri, which is a big part of the celebrations in Jaipur.”
