GOWRI MANICKAVASAGAM
Given the tough past six months that we have spent during the lockdown, the current festive season is giving a whole lot of positive energy to everyone! Last year during this time, we all were excited and in a festive mood spreading cheer all around. In the same way, Sayantani Ghosh who is currently seen as Rasiya in COLORS’ Barrister Babu & will also be seen in COLORS Shandaar Ravivaar, misses being in Kolkata for Dura Puja. The actress says she feels nostalgic about being away from all the festivities in Kolkota. However, COLORS’ popular show Barrister Babu and the upcoming two-hour-long special segment Shandaar Ravivaar are helping the actress cope up! Sayantani will be seen celebrating Durga Pooja and doing the traditional dance in both the shows.
Commenting about the same Sayantani Ghosh said, “The ambiance during Durga Puja in Kolkata is different. The festival fever is unmatched and everyone is gripped by the festive fervour. I miss the noise of the dhak (drums) and wearing new clothes. These were yearly rituals for me wherein there used to be one pandal in every single lane in Kolkata! This year, I am feeling a bit sad as I will not be able to go due to COVID19. Although the flights are open now, I do not want to risk travelling especially because of the current situation as my parents are senior citizens and I do not want to risk their health. In our show the current track is around Durga puja and so is my performance in Shandaar Ravivaar and the atmosphere around is making me feel more nostalgic. Hopefully next year, by the blessings of Maa Durga, I’ll be able to go there!”
Watch Barrister Babu every Monday- Friday, 8.30 pm only COLORS.
