‘Ishq Jabariya’ actor Lakshay Khurana reminisces about his memories of Mahashivratri

Mumbai: Ahead of Mahashivratri, actor Lakshay Khurana, who plays Aditya in “Ishq Jabariya”, shared his cherished memories and plans for this year’s celebration. He revealed this year he won’t be able to fast due to a busy schedule at work.

Lakshay said: “As a child in Delhi, I would be excited the night before Shivratri because I knew we would visit the temple. At night, I would go with my father to the Shiva temple, where we would pour milk and water on the Shivling and perform puja.”

He shared that he also looked forward to eating street food like golgappas near the temple.

“These remain some of my most beautiful and cherished Shivratri memories,” said the actor.

Talking about his plans for this year, he added: “As I grew older, I started fasting the entire day. However, due to my busy shooting schedule for Ishq Jabariya, I won’t be able to fast this year. Still, I will wake up early and visit the temple with my wife.”

Lakshay is a devotee of Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu.

“I have deep faith in Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu, so I will offer milk and water to the Shivling, seek blessings, and chant ‘Har Har Mahadev.’ Shivratri is a very special occasion for me, and I always look forward to it,” said the actor.
