Makar Sankranti is all about starting fresh and looking ahead with positivity, says Rohit Purohit

Makar Sankranti, the festival that marks the harvest season and is synonym of kite flying was celebrated all across the country. On the occasion TV actor Rohit Purohit recount his childhood memories. Sharing more about the nostalgia, Rohit says, "Makar Sankranti is the first festival of the year, and for me, it’s all about starting fresh, leaving the past behind, and looking ahead with positivity. Back in Jaipur, which is my home town Sankranti was a whole different vibe. A day before the fest, my friends, we’d buy kites, stock up on manjha, and spend hours sharpening the strings. I miss those afternoons, flying kites, laughing, eating til ke laddoo and gajak, and trying to beat each other in kite battles. And Jaipur during sunset on Makar Sankranti is a sight that stays with me forever.

Rohit has done shows like Sanskaar Laxmi, Udaariyaan, Razia Sultan and Dil Toh HAppy Hai Ji. Currently seen in the show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Rohit enjoys celebrating the festival n Mumbai. He further adds, "Mumbai is amazing in its own way. What I love about Mumbai’s Makar Sankranti is the spirit. Even though we don’t have the same grand kite wars, there’s something about people coming together. As I’m shooting In Mumbai, I will miss going to Jaipur but I’ll be celebrating it with my YRKKH cast on set."
