, says that she is a big foodie and loves gorging on homemade delicacies on this day. Talking to us, Saee, whose performance in the Gujarati TV show Laxmi Sadaiv Mangalam made her immensely popular in

Gujarat

, tells us, “I was born and brought up in Ahmedabad, where Gudi Padwa celebrations aren’t that big. However, ever since I have shifted to Mumbai, I have been a part of the celebrations in a big way. Usually, we love visiting relatives and friends but given the situation this year, it was out of the question.”

Saee adds, “Just like last year, Gudi Padwa celebrations were low-key this time also. As a kid, I remember how I would be excited about wearing new clothes and receiving pocket money from the elders on this day. Given the situation in Mumbai, we won’t be visiting our relatives and friends. We will decorate the small temple at home and do puja. My mom prepares amazing karanji, puran poli and modaks, and we also order some sweets. So, it is going to be all about gorging on these delicacies! Given that I am doing a TV show, I have to keep a watch on what I eat but on this day, my mom prepares some mouth-watering delicacies. And if we don’t eat much, she gets angry and says, ‘Main itna kuch banati hoon, aur tum log khaate nahi ho!’ Even if I have to shoot on this day, I make sure that I make the most of the time that I get to spend with the family.”
