Akshaya Tritiya, associated with auspicious beginnings and meaningful investments, has evolved beyond tradition to reflect personal milestones and cherished purchases. For many, the day is not just about buying gold, but about choosing something that holds lasting value — be it sentimental, spiritual or practical. This Akshaya Tritiya, we ask celebs to look back and share the one gift or purchase they made on this day that remains truly special to them.“Akshaya Tritiya is seen as a day of abundance and positivity. I usually buy gold on the occasion. But if you ask me the one thing that I value the most in life, it would be the love and happiness I receive from my husband Andrei”— Shriya SaranArjun BijlaniAkshaya Tritiya has always been about tradition for me. My wife Neha and I have made it a ritual to buy gold every year, even if it’s something small, because it symbolises prosperity and positivity. This year, I’ve bought a small gold piece and a diamond accessory for Neha. It’s not about the cost, a gift should be meaningful and functional.“My best buy was the jewellery I bought for my mother – a gold kada and necklace. I bought this after I started earning and it felt really special”— Anupria Goenka“Last year I bought gold for the most important women in my life – my mother, wife and daughter. I bought gold bracelets for them, which they loved. That purchase is closest to my heart”— Rahul VaidyaShubhangi AtreFor Akshaya Tritiya, I used to buy gold jewellery, but for the last few years, I have been buying two plants for my farmhouse every year. I feel we should all support our environment in every possible way. Plants bring positivity and are auspicious too.Kiku ShardaI don’t follow a specific ritual, but I have been buying gold on Akshaya Tritiya for the last 25 years. This year, I feel the best I would like to do is invest in a gold coin of 10 gms. We do it for religious beliefs but it is financially rewarding too.Akriti KakarAkshaya Tritiya has always been special for us; it’s a tradition we’ve lovingly held on to. We bring home some form of gold every year. It isn’t just an investment (though it truly is one of the best), but it’s also about the deep sense of auspiciousness it carries. Over the past few years, we’ve started buying both gold and silver, and that too consciously in our son Mehraan’s name. There’s something very meaningful about that. Akshaya Tritiya, to me, signifies the beginning of a new chapter of prosperity and success. And as a family, buying gold feels like our own little way of manifesting and securing a future filled with abundance and happiness for him.Prajakta ShukreSince childhood, my parents have told us that Akshaya Tritiya is an auspicious day, and if we buy gold on that day, it keeps growing or multiplying. So every Akshaya Tritiya, even if nothing else, we make sure to buy at least a small piece, like a gold wal (as it’s called in Marathi), which is more like a coiled or swirl-shaped piece, or we buy a coin. My mother brings it home, and then we perform a puja.“My dad got me a gold and diamond ring a few years ago on Akshaya Tritiya, so that’s one of the best gifts. It’s close to my heart and I always wear it”— Eisha SinghAditya DeshmukhA few years ago, I bought a car for myself on Akshaya Tritiya, which was special. It made travel convenient for me. But apart from that, I usually prefer buying gold on this day. This year, too, I’ll invest in gold.
