Biggboss 14 Arshi Khan enjoys getting ready as Maharashtrian women for the festival. She tells, "People don their traditional attires as women drape the Navari saree. I enjoy getting ready as a Maharashtrian woman. Prayers and flowers are offered to the Gudi after placing it on the window or door. Following this, people perform the aarti and put Akshat on the Gudi. This is the most beautiful way to ring in the new year. Let the Gudi Padwa spread the message of peace and happiness."
Shubhangi Atre, seen as Angoori in Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain, was introduced to the festival after she shifted to Mumbai. She says, "Gudi Padwa brings in good fortune and abounding happiness for all of us. After coming to Mumbai, I started celebrating the festival ringing in the New Year. I`m as of now battling from Covid-19 so this year it will be only greeting celebration. I will greet all my fans, family and friends over social media platforms."
