The festival of Makar Sankranti every year brings with it new beginnings, the joy of harvest and the warmth of moments spent with loved ones. On this occasion, Bollywood celebs were also seen celebrating in their own special style. Shreyas Talpade, Daisy Shah and Rani Mukherjee heartily shared their memories, thoughts and celebrations related to Makar Sankranti.

A day of memories and absence of father for Shreyas Talpade
For Shreyas Talpade, Makar Sankranti is a festival full of emotions. As soon as he sees the kite, he remembers his father the most who loved this day very much. Shreyas tells that his father used to get excited like a child on Makar Sankranti. It was he who taught them all the intricacies of kite flying, screw twisting and dancing. Going to Vadodara every year with family, flying kites and watching candle balloons from eight in the morning till night is one of his most beautiful memories.

First Makar Sankranti after marriage and feeling of distance
Shreyas also remembered his first Makar Sankranti after marriage. At that time, he was preparing for the film ‘Iqbal’ in Tenali, Andhra Pradesh, while his wife Deepti was in Mumbai. That day he neither saw kites nor got any festive feeling. Shreyas believes that Makar Sankranti is actually a festival of being with family and being away from loved ones makes him miss it even more.

Daisy Shah’s changed thinking and childhood memories
For Daisy Shah, Makar Sankranti is associated with sweet childhood memories. She tells that earlier she used to fly kites with her father and the terrace of the house was filled with relatives. However, now his thinking has changed. Daisy is worried about the harm caused to birds and animals by kite flying, so she speaks openly against it. Yet the warmth of the festival and the joy of being together is still equally special for them.

Rani Mukherjee celebrates with food, family and happiness
Like Daisy, Rani Mukherjee also celebrated Makar Sankranti in a special way. She reached Gujarat for the promotion of ‘Mardaani 3’ and was seen flying kites in Ahmedabad. Rani said that being in Gujarat on an auspicious day like Makar Sankranti and the love her film is getting is very special for her. According to him, this festival gives an opportunity to family, good food and living the moment and this is its real beauty.

Bollywood actress Rani Mukherjee has completed 30 years in Hindi cinema today. On this occasion he shared his feelings and experiences. Rani shared a note on the Instagram handle of Yash Raj Films on Monday, in which she told that she had never made any master plan in the world of films. She found this path and has always felt like that new girl who stands in front of the camera for the first time and wonders if she is in the right place.

On completing 30 years in cinema, Rani Mukherjee told her journey
Rani said- ‘When I started my career with ‘Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat’ in 1997, I did not know what kind of career I could make in acting. At that time, acting made me feel alive in life. This film taught me the first and biggest lesson that cinema is not just for glamour, but for responsibility. I learned through that character how important it is to show the fight for dignity for women, and this experience proved to shape my future acting.

‘At that time I understood that Hindi cinema…’
Rani described the end of the 1990s as ‘magical’ for her. He said, ‘At that time the audience decided the direction of my career. Those films gave me opportunities, but the most important thing was that at that time I understood how deeply Hindi cinema is in the hearts of people. My time on the sets during that period was full of learning and fun. I received guidance and inspiration from many mentors and colleagues.

‘Saathiya’ was a turning point
In the early 2000s, Rani found her acting identity and voice. She said- ‘Saathiya’ was a turning point in my career, in which I played the character of a flawed, emotional and spontaneous woman. I did not want to be perfect on screen, but wanted to do honest and real acting. This thinking led to films like ‘Hum Tum’, and showed that women can carry all the expressions of humor and sensitivity on screen.

Then came ‘Black’, which completely changed his belief about acting. Rani said- ‘Working with Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Amitabh Bachchan took me to my hidden possibilities. This experience required discipline, dedication and courage. ‘Black’ became a highly emotional experience of my life and it taught me that sometimes silence can speak louder than words.

Attracted women who challenged the society
Rani said that she was always attracted to the characters of women who challenge the society. This includes films like ‘Bunty Aur Babli’, ‘No One Killed Jessica’, and ‘Mardaani’. ‘Mardaani’ in particular is very close to my heart because Shivani Shivaji Roy’s character exudes quiet strength and shows how impactful difficult but hopeful stories can be.

He further said, ‘Marriage and daughter Adira did not let me slow down, but sharpened my focus. I started choosing films more wisely and conserved my energy. After this, films like ‘Hichki’ and ‘Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway’ explained the depth of sensitivity and emotional truth. ‘Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway’ gave me my first National Award.

Mardaani 3 is one of the most awaited films of this year. Fans were waiting for this film for a long time but now this wait is not going to last long. Rani Mukherjee is once again making a comeback as supercop Shivani Shivaji Roy. It would be great to see Rani Mukherjee on the big screen.
