In an interview with Bombay Times, Yami Gautam Dhar talked about her first Karwa Chauth and revealed that the beautiful saree that she had donned, was gifted to her by her husband, Aditya Dhar. Shedding more light on the same, she said:
“I wore a beautiful red sari, which was a gift to me by Aditya. I’ve always loved red as a colour especially when the occasion is very Indian-festive. I feel red can never fail during such auspicious occasions. It is a very powerful colour. I was fasting and everybody took good care of me.”
The Uri actress also thanked her mother for being there and taking care of her on her first Karwa Chauth. Moreover, she shared that she was mesmerised by how her mother has been celebrating Karwa Chauth through all these years. Yami added:
“I feel mothers are blessed with magical powers. Since childhood I have seen my mom fast on the day and prepare sargi for herself in case my grandma wasn’t around. She would do the katha by herself and get together with the aunties of the neighbourhood to see chand. I always wondered where she got her energies from to cook pahadi feast while she is fasting on the day.”
