Reyhna Pandit recalls childhood Mahashivarati celebration

Talking about celebrating Mahashivaratri 2021, KumKum Bhagya’s Reyhna Pandit said that the festival is a “mega celebration” at her home. She mentioned that being from Kashmir, the power of Shiva is celebrated for seven days and she is an ardent follower. The actor recalled that as a kid, they would look forward to Shivaratri as Kashmiri delicacies were made every day, followed by sweets and they would also play games with shells.

Reyhna asserted that it was like their “second Diwali” and hence Lord Shiva has always been close to them. This year as well, she will devote some time for prayers and then some family time, apart from the Kumkum Bhagya shoot. She hopes the day goes well for one and all and wished everyone a Happy Mahashivratri 2021.
