As Anupamaa continues to dominate prime time, actor Manish Naggdev, a fresh face on the popular show, is not only capturing hearts with his acting but also opening up about his personal life and festive traditions this season. Manish shares his thoughts on the occasion of Dhanteras, shedding light on what he buys, his family traditions, and how he keeps this festival close to his heart.
When asked about his plans for Dhanteras this year, Manish reveals,” For Dhanteras, I usually invest in gold or something that holds long-term value,” he says, adding that this tradition of purchasing something auspicious is a family custom he continues to uphold. “It’s a tradition in my family to buy something auspicious, and I try to keep that alive each year,” he shares.
But Manish’s approach to Dhanteras isn’t just about a set ritual; it’s about feeling the right connection with his purchase. “While I don’t follow a set routine every time, I ensure that the purchase symbolizes prosperity and well-being, whether it’s gold, silver, or something that feels right at that moment,” he elaborates.
Beyond the material aspect, Manish values the spiritual side of Dhanteras, a time that’s as much about inner renewal as it is about external rituals. “One tradition I always follow is cleaning the house and doing a small puja in the evening,” he shares. “It’s not just about the material purchase but also about welcoming positive energy and new beginnings into the home. This adds a deeper meaning to the celebration beyond just buying things.”
