While most people were celebrating Diwali with their families, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai's leading lady Samridhii Shukla was busy creating magic on screen. But that didn't stop the young actress from experiencing the festive joy in her own unique way.
Finding Festive Spirit Amidst Camera Lights
In an exclusive heart-to-heart, Samridhii opened up about celebrating the festival of lights on the sets of her popular Star Plus show. "We were shooting throughout Diwali," the actress revealed, adding a beautiful perspective that many working professionals would relate to.
What could have been a disappointing situation turned into a memorable celebration thanks to the show's producer, Rajan Shahi. "Our producer, Rajan sir, made sure we didn't miss out on the festivities," Samridhii shared with genuine appreciation.
The On-Set Diwali Celebration
The sets of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai transformed into a mini-celebration zone with:
- Traditional puja ceremonies conducted on set
- Delicious festive treats and sweets for the entire cast and crew
- Warm exchanges of greetings and good wishes
- A supportive atmosphere that felt like family
Workplace Becomes Family During Festivals
Samridhii emphasized how the cast and crew have become like a second family. "When you're working with people day in and day out, they become your family," she expressed. This bond made celebrating together feel natural and heartfelt, rather than forced or obligatory.
The actress made an important observation that resonates with countless working Indians: "Happiness can be found even amidst work if you have the right people around you."
A Valuable Life Lesson
Her experience offers a powerful message about finding joy in professional commitments. "It's all about the perspective you choose to have," Samridhii wisely noted. Instead of focusing on what she was missing, she embraced the unique opportunity to celebrate with her work family.
The young star's positive outlook serves as an inspiration for everyone who has to work during important festivals and family occasions. Her story proves that with the right mindset and supportive colleagues, any workplace can become a venue for celebration.
