Can't believe I couldn't play dandiya this year: Rajit Dev

MUMBAI: Dancer and choreographer Rajit Dev was quite upset when the dandiya and garba events were cancelled because of the pandemic. Though he accepts that nothing can be more important than health, he confessed that he missed playing dandiya with his friends during Navratri.

"I love playing dandiya and garba and being a dancer I actively participate in these events with my friends. But I can't believe I couldn't play dandiya this year. I understand that it's for our safety, and I just keep asking what more this year 2020 will take away from us," he said.

"Once you start playing garba or dandiya, you will just keep dancing. The energy at such events is such that it gives you an adrenaline rush, and it just fills your heart with happiness and positivity. You forget to keep a track of the time and I guess the environment is such that at that very moment you are only there, your mind stops wandering to various other places it usually does," he added.

Rajit, who directed and choreographed Nora Fatehi's version of "Pachtaoge", utilised his Navratri break this year by keeping himself busy with work, but he couldn't stop thinking of the negative things that happened in 2020.

"I guess 2020 gets to everyone, and during this time I couldn't stop thinking of all the bad things that happened this year. It started with COVID, but then you get to know about unemployment, poverty and so many rape cases. I know everything can't be fixed in one go, but since Dussehra is the celebration of good over evil, I pray to God that as the festival ends even that bad or negative side of us also ends with it," Rajit signed off.
