MUMBAI: Ram Navami, the sacred festival that marks the divine birth of Lord Ram is a time steeped in devotion, vibrant celebrations, and deep-rooted traditions. It is a moment for reflection, prayer, and the reaffirmation of values that transcend generations. On this auspicious occasion, Sony SAB’s beloved artists Karuna Pandey, Sayli Salunkhe, Sumeet Raghvan, and Bharti Achrekar share their treasured memories and family rituals, passed down through the generations.
For these talented stars, Ram Navami is not merely a festival—it is an embodiment of faith, love, and reverence for the divine. From grand, soulful pujas to heartfelt prayers, they reflect on how the teachings of Lord Ram continue to guide their lives, shape their principles, and inspire the values they hold.
Karuna Pandey who portrays the character of Pushpa in Pushpa Impossible said, "Ram Navami is a festival that brings a sense of peace and devotion. Lord Ram's life teaches us patience, resilience, and the power of righteousness—values that I deeply resonate with. Growing up, I remember how my family would recite the Ramcharitmanas and visit the temple together. Those childhood memories of devotion and togetherness still stay with me. The teachings of Lord Ram are a constant source of inspiration in my life, guiding me through every challenge. May this Ram Navami bring love, harmony, and strength to all!"
Sayli Salunkhe, who plays the role of Anjani in Veer Hanuman, said, "For me, Ram Navami is about faith and unwavering belief in goodness. Lord Ram's journey was full of struggles, yet he remained righteous and kind—something we all can learn from. As a child, I would eagerly wait for the bhajans and Shobha Yatras in our neighborhood, where everyone would come together in celebration. It’s beautiful how this festival reminds us to always choose the right path, no matter how tough things get. Wishing everyone strength and happiness on this special day!"
Sumeet Raghvan, who plays Rajesh Wagle in Wagle Ki Duniya-Nayi Peedhi Naye Kissey, said, "Ram Navami is not just about celebrating Lord Ram’s birth; it’s about embracing his values in our daily lives. Truth, humility, and compassion—these are qualities that can make the world a better place. I fondly remember watching Lord Ram on TV and being mesmerized by his commitment to dharma. May this festival inspire us to be better versions of ourselves!"
Bharati Achrekar, who plays the role of Radhika Wagle in Wagle Ki Duniya-Nayi Peedi Nayi Kissey, said, " Growing up in a traditional Maharashtrian household, we celebrated this day with great devotion. My mother would wake up before sunrise, prepare Naivedya like Puran Poli and Kheer, and we would visit the temple to seek blessings. Even today, at this stage in my life, I find immense peace in reciting the Ram Raksha Stotra, a practice my family has followed for generations. Lord Ram’s values of patience, righteousness, and kindness are more relevant than ever. I hope this festival brings harmony and wisdom to all."
