Actress Pavitra Punia, who is currently essaying the role of Mohini in Ishq Ki Dastaan – Naagmani is all set to celebrate Diwali with her beau Eijaz Khan. The actress talked about her Diwali plans for the year during a recent interview and shared, “I am going to do Laxmi puja, will make Rangoli, and will light up my whole home. This is the second Diwali with Eijaz and I am going to make it special. We have also moved in together. I am also planning to keep a small party at home. Diwali food is something which I always go traditional with. Alu phoolgobi sabji, puri and homemade sweets like Gulab jamun which I have learned from my mother.”
Talking about the significance of Diwali in her life, Pavitra shared, “It’s about removing the darkness from your life and welcoming light. That’s a ray of hope for me. It’s the end of sorrow, sadness, misery everything which is not going to help me.”
Reminiscing her childhood memories of Diwali Pavitra added, “I am from Baghpat, Meerut and I remember my Dadi used to perform Laxmi Puja with so much sincerity. She also used to make the idol on her own. The vibes at home were very nice before Diwali. We used to clean the whole house with cow dung and mud. That was quite fascinating for me. At that point in time Diwali meant firecrackers to me. When I look back now I remember all these beautiful memories and I am going to share this with my children one day.”
Talking about her professional life, she said, “Playing Mohini has been a fabulous experience. Fans are loving it. The content on the channel is innovative and fresh.”
