Vaarun Bhagat Recalls Childhood Memories of Baisakhi and How Things Have Changed Over the Years
Vaarun Bhagat, a Bollywood celebrity, is reminiscing about his childhood memories of Baisakhi, a spring harvest festival celebrated by Sikhs in Northern India. The festival marks the beginning of the Sikh New Year and is celebrated with great enthusiasm. However, for Vaarun, who now lives in Mumbai, the festival has become a time when he misses spending time with his family in Delhi.
According to Vaarun, Baisakhi used to be a time of unparalleled joy for his family. They would all get together with friends and family, start the new year on a positive note, and enjoy the festivities. He recalls a cherished memory of a few years back when his whole family was together, celebrating the festival in an intimate and chill atmosphere. They ate a lot of delicious food, danced, and did gidda, a popular folk dance of Punjab.
Vaarun acknowledges that festivities in general have become more intimate, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. He believes that people have started valuing their time with loved ones more, and the pandemic has taught us the importance of celebrating together, no matter how small or grand the celebration is.
As the festival marks the beginning of a new year, Vaarun wishes everyone a happy Baisakhi and New Year.
