Tahira Kashyap, an author-turned-director and wife of actor Ayushmann Khurrana, recently shared a heartwarming recollection of celebrating her first Lohri as a newlywed. Being Punjabi herself, the director spoke about how she celebrated the festival with her in-laws, and how the joyous festivities captured the essence of the occasion.
Tahira Kashyap recalls special moments from her first Lohri after marrying Ayushmann Khurrana: “My in-laws hosted a party to celebrate us, the newlywed couple”
Speaking about the experience, Tahira shared, “In Punjabi culture, the first Lohri after marriage is celebrated with a lot of fervor. My in-laws hosted a party to celebrate us, the newlywed couple. There was dance and music, and the married couples would go in circles around the bonfire. We enjoyed gajak (chikki), peanuts, and popcorn, which were also thrown into the bonfire. Needless to say, the chants of ‘Sundar Mundriye‘ filled the air. The last two lines of the song made me laugh. It literally translates to, ‘Give us Lohri, long live your pair, whether you cry or bang your head later.’ That’s quite a disclaimer young Punjabi couples get from their elders!”
On the work front, Tahira Kashyap made her directorial debut with Sharmajee Ki Beti, which received rave reviews for its compelling storyline and fresh directorial perspective. Known for her contributions to inspiring the new generation and women, Tahira garnered immense love for the film, contributing to a shift in how stories are perceived today.
