MUMBAI: Makar Sankranti is a festival that fills the skies with colorful kites, hearts with joy, and homes with the aroma of Til Gud Laddoos. For Stuti Vinkle, who plays Phooli in Saajha Sindoor on Sun Neo, this festival is not just about flying kites but also about reliving the joys of childhood.
Sharing her childhood memories Stuti shared, “Makar Sankranti has always been one of my favorite festivals, especially because of the fun of flying kites. The sky is filled with colorful kites, and kids spend hours on their terraces flying them, even outside of Makar Sankranti. I was no different. One of my favorite childhood memories is that weeks before the festival, my friends and I would stock up on kites and spend entire days on the terrace flying them non-stop. I didn’t know how to fly a kite, but I would try to learn or just watch my siblings and friends flying them. My mother was excellent at flying kites and even taught me how to make them with thread, but I don’t remember it now. Still, I used to scream "Kai Po Che!" louder than anyone.”
The Saajha Sindoor actress further added, “A particularly fun memory is running from one terrace to another, trying to catch kites that we cut from other people's strings (laughs). I still remember the time I fell while chasing a kite, and my family was so upset with me! Even today, I have some kites from those days. This year, I will be celebrating Makar Sankranti on the sets of our Sun Neo show Saajha Sindoor, and I hope to make it a memorable one by sharing Til Gud Laddoos with my reel-life family.”
Stuti Vinkle stars as Phooli in Saajha Sindoor, where her captivating on-screen chemistry with Sahil Uppal, who plays Gagan, has won over audiences. The show chronicles the marital journey of Phooli and Gagan, while Saroj, portrayed by Sangita Ghosh, plots to create discord between them.
