‘Akshay Tritiya’ was introduced to me by my mother. She was the one who always used to tell my father that please take me to buy something on the occasion of ‘Akshaya Tritiya’. Let me tell you that, ‘Akshaya Tritiya’ and ‘Dhanteras’ are the two festivals when she used to buy something. This year, I didn’t actually think about buying something, but it is great that this interview has come to me as a reminder to buy something. Now, I am going to go and defintely buy something. There are a few friends of mine who have kids and I’ve been wanting to gift them something and what better day than this. So I think I’ll do that today.

How are you planning to celebrate ‘Akshaya Tritiya’ this year?
The general concept/ tradition of ‘Akshaya Tritiya’ states that you need to buy gold on that day, as it’s considered extremely auspicious.

Do you buy gold in big quantity or just for namesake as in, to participate in the traditional custom? Also, Can you name the three people in your life whom you consider ‘GOLD’
What is quantity? I am not that kind of a person, to show off. So, I buy something that I like. Iam not here to buy gold to show it off to someone that how much I have and how much I’ve purchased. So, I always buy something that I like.

Who do you consider as ‘gold’ in your life?
Its my mother, father, my brother and my amazing husband and my child.
