Hunar Gandhi: I miss Delhi’s festive vibe when I’m not in the city during this time of the year

Hunar Gandhi is in her hometown for the festive season after four long years. And the TV actress plans to make the most of it. Taking a break from her schedule, she went festive shopping with us to Gurgaon’s Galleria Market. The actress tried out a few kurtas and gorged on chaat. She says, “For me, festivals are all about mithai, clothes and people coming together.I am a Delhi girl, so I miss Delhi’s festive vibe when I am not in the city during this time of the year. I miss the food as well, especially the golgappas.”
Since she is here after a long time for the festivities, she tells us that she plans to organise a get-together for her family. “I am planning to cook for them for this get-together. There are certain dishes like coconut ladoos that I have learnt, so I thought chalo ab seekha hai toh bana bhi lenge,” she adds.


Hunar adds that her perspective towards festivals has changed since COVID. “It has changed me a lot as well. People are coming together to celebrate after two years, and I think it’s a good thing. Most of our perspective towards festivities has
changed because of the collective crisis we went through due to the pandemic. I can see gatherings this time. And at
the end of the day, it is about happiness and people coming together. I have also learnt that we need to value our time instead of taking things for granted. Many of us took spending time with our families for granted, but I think festivals are all about celebrating with the family. There are still some who prefer working on festivals; I was also one of them, but now I think I would like to take a day off to spend time with my family and friends. I don’t want to miss out on that anymore, and that’s what has changed for me,” she explains.
