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.

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.”Keep reading this space for more updates.
