Navratri brings a lot of strength and motivation: Megha Sharma

Megha Sharma, who has been part of shows like Baal Krishna and Mahakali—Anth Hi Aarambh Hai, is all set to celebrate Navratri, and says if her work schedule permits, she will even keep fasts during the first and last day.

She said, “During Navratri, we light a diya and keep it burning continuously for all nine days. We perform a lot of pujas during these nine days. I think Navratri brings a lot of strength and motivation. There’s a certain energy during this time that makes you feel like you can overcome anything. There’s a strong spiritual aspect to Navratri.”

“Usually, the Navratri festivities happen in the evening, so I can sometimes take out one or two days to celebrate traditionally. If I’m free, I like to observe fasting on the first and last days, but if I’m busy shooting, then I don’t fast. There was a time when I used to fast for all nine days, but now it depends on my work schedule,” she added.

Megha shared that Navratri is celebrated as Goddess Durga defeated the demon Mahishasura on the ninth day, and then we celebrate Dussehra. She said, “The festival symbolizes that evil has no power in front of God, and good always triumphs over evil.”

“In terms of my professional journey, if I reflect on it, the simple message is that no matter what difficulties or challenges come your way, if you stay focused and keep doing the right things, good things will eventually come to you. Even if people are being negative or trying to pull you down, if you are on the right path, success will find you,” she ended.
