What is the significance of Durga Puja?
It’s an important festival for Bengalis. Since childhood, it’s been a part of my life so I can’t really segregate the significance. It’s an innate part of Bengali culture.
Favourite Bengali sweet: Sondesh made from jaggery.
Favourite childhood memory: Ashtami was an important day. We would fast on this day and after giving Anjali, we break our fast. Our grandparents would then buy us ice cream. Then we would wait for kichadi, which is an important dish during the festival.
Message to your fans: Enjoy the festival, but also remember the needy.
