Shruti, who belongs to Mumbai said, “Well, we used to break dahi handi. I used to be in the girls group and I used to participate in it.”
Namish was questioned if he resonates with the dahi handi festive vibe. He expressed, “I live in Andheri and I have seen how there are people climbing so high up to break the handi. It is beautiful. I have never seen this kind of environment.”
Megha added to this saying, “There was a time when I was shooting in film city during the time of Janmashtami and while getting out I saw two three teams trying to break the Handi. There is a lot of craze about dahi handi over here.” (Also Read: Manmohan Tiwari Reflects on Janmashtami and Cherished Childhood Memories in Rishikesh)
