Aditi Sajwan and Paresh Ganatra were recently in Varanasi to interact with their fans and talk about the latest track of their long running show Chidiyaghar on Sony SAB. Incidentally, the show is set against the backdrop of the holy city and the actors were ecstatic to explore the city while they were there. While this was Aditi Sajwan
second visit to Varanasi, it was Paresh Ganatra first time in Varanasi.Due to Sharad Purnima there were several rallies in Varanasi and the actors were informed to leave a couple of hours prior to the scheduled time of departure. However, they were stuck in a jam for over an hour due to which they couldn’t catch their evening flight to Mumbai. Secretly, the actors wished they had more time in their hands to explore the city on their own and when they missed their flight and they utilized the opportunity to visit all the popular spots in Varanasi.
Talking about his first time in Varanasi, Paresh Ganatra said, “While I have been a part of Chidiya Ghar for five years now. I never got the opportunity to visit Varanasi due to some prior commitments. So this time, I myself nominated to go for the press meet. While the meet went well, we missed our flight due to a huge jam that happened because of Sharad Purnima. I had never seen this kind of traffic even in Mumbai. When we missed our flight, I immediately connected with a localitie of Varanasi I had met in my flight from Mumbai to Varanasi. During our in-flight conversation, he had expressed a keen interest in showing me around, if I had the time. Hence, we decided to explore the city with his help. We woke up at 6am, visited the Ganga Ghats, ate the chaat and sweets at his shop near Kashi Vishawanath temple. He told us that today is Sharad Purnima and Mahadev didn’t want you to leave Varanasi without visiting the temple and this city. It was destined for me to visit the city and do the darshan on this day.”
Aditi Sajwan said, “ After we missed the flight, we were scheduled to catch the afternoon flight to Mumbai the next day. We therefore had the entire morning to be on our own. We had lassi, food at Taj Heritage, took a guided darshan to the Ghats early morning. I got Ganga’s water for my father as he truly believes in the holiness of the water. Chole tikki was a unique street food item I had in my visit to Varanasi this time. I had the opportunity to do the darshan of atleast 50 temples which were near about Kashi Vishawanth Temple. The whole experience was truly exuberant.”
