Ankita who earlier kept the fast for no special purpose said, “I don’t know yaar. All of my friends used to do it. Even I started doing pooja once the moon came out. I have never kept a fast where I am not even having water. But, I just wanted to do something with all my whole heart. Hence, I did it back then.’

She is keen to do it with full sincerity this time for her husband. She said, “This time I am really hoping to do it with devotion. I hope I will be able to keep a nirjala fast. Vicky has promised me gifts. I am looking forward to those.”

When asked if Vicky will be fasting too she said, ““I have asked him too. He told me ‘baby I will eat when you eat.’ I am sure he will wait for me to finish my fast and till then he won’t eat anything. But, let’s see how long I can go without eating.”

Talking about the grand celebration she added, ‘I have kept a very big function at my place. All of my friends from the TV industry are coming. Many of them are also having their first Karwa Chauth. The idea is to celebrate it together. Maza ayega.”

Yuvika Chaudhary, Shraddha Arya, Divyanka Tripathi and Mouni Roy are some of the celeb friends who will be attending Ankita’s Karwa Chauth party.
