MUMBAI : Smita Bansal who essays the role of Neelam in Zee TV’s Bhagya Lakshmi said, “Karwa Chauth is one of the most special occasions for me. Every year, I look forward to spending this day with my husband to celebrate the beautiful bond we share. But, at times due to work commitments, it doesn’t happen the way we think it will. In the initial years, from the moment I started my day with sargi prepared by my mother-in-law to the evening rituals, the whole day used to be like a celebration. Fasting without even a sip of water isn’t easy, but the excitement of breaking the fast together, with him offering the first sip of water, makes it all worthwhile. The joy of seeing the moon through the sieve and then his face is truly indescribable, each time it feels like the first time. It’s not just about following the tradition but about strengthening the love and commitment we have. Karwa Chauth always leaves me feeling deeply connected to my roots, to my family, and most importantly, to my husband.”
