Navratri is a nine-night celebration of devotion, dance, and tradition. It is that time of the year again when the nights turn musical with the beats of dhol and colourful with the twirl of ghagras. During this time, devotees honour the nine forms of Maa Durga. On this special occasion, Rakul Preet Singh gets candid with mid-day about how she celebrates the festival.

Rakul Preet Singh on the importance of Navratri celebration

Talking about the significance of Navratri, Rakul reflects on how the festival is a celebration of women and their strength. She states, “On Navratri, it’s all about her power, voice, and standing in society. In our mythology, there is so much importance given to the power of women, and there are festivals celebrating that. I feel these festivals remind us of the power each woman possesses. Women are the most beautiful beings on the planet. We are strong and empathetic. Each woman should rise above the rituals of a festival and understand its true significance.”
