MUMBAI: As Dhanteras approaches, Harleen Reikhi, renowned for her roles in Kamdhenu Gaumata and Binddii, reflects on the significance of this auspicious day.
For Harleen, Dhanteras isn’t about lavish spending but thoughtful, symbolic purchases. “I prefer buying something made of steel, maybe a silver coin, or even a broom — as it’s said to bring good luck. I truly believe in following these rituals,” she says.
She explains that such practices are her way of honoring tradition while contributing to society. “These small steps are my little contribution — keeping the festive spirit alive without harming the environment,” Harleen shares.
The actress, known for her grounded personality both on and off-screen, emphasizes the deeper meaning behind Dhanteras. “It’s not just about buying things, it’s about connecting with your family, performing rituals, and spreading positivity. These practices bring a sense of balance between tradition and modern life,” she says.
Harleen’s approach to festivals is shaped by childhood memories of family celebrations, temple visits, and the joy of sharing sweets and lights with loved ones. “Those experiences taught me the essence of celebration — it’s not about grandeur, it’s about togetherness, devotion, and joy,” she concludes.
