Priyanka Chahar Choudhary on celebrating Navratri festival

Pinkvilla asked Priyanka about her childhood memories related to the Navratri festival. The actress said, "I remember celebrating Navratri during my childhood. I would attend Navratri functions and never miss the chance to play dandiya. But now owing to my schedule I do try as much as I can to celebrate and partake in Garba."

She added, "Since I come from the north, I'm not very well versed in playing Garba- it's almost like the Garba bloopers you watch on your social media where people goofily play dandiya- so my childhood Navratri times were filled with lots of laughter and fun with my friends! I do miss playing Dandiya! I also love how people celebrate Navratri in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. I do miss celebrating most festivals with my family because due to work commitments."

Navratri culminates followed by the festival of Dussehra wherein Lord Ram killed Ravana and it marked the victory of good over evil. We asked the talented actress Priyanka whether she would like to discard one of her weaknesses this Dussehra. She answered with a lot of grace and said, "I believe that my only weakness is my honesty and frankness. I've always believed in being genuine and straightforward with people, but sometimes, it can be misconstrued as a weakness."

She added, "However, I see it as a strength because I'd rather be true to myself and others than pretend to be someone I'm not. It's important to find a balance between being open and maintaining respect. But remember, embracing your true self is a journey worth taking, and I'm proud of who I am."
