Hare Krishna!
Changed life: Saurabh Pandey
I have always been fond of Janmashtami and believe a lot in Lord Krishna. I have played Lord Krishna in Suryaputra Karn and that really changed my life. I am at more peace with myself. I have never broken any matka but it will be exciting to try once. Hopefully one day I might get a chance!
Special occasion: Asmita Sood
My family is an ardent follower of Lord Krishna. I don’t call myself a devotee, but yes I definitely follow and observe this festival. As a child I remember the excitement; I used to stay up till midnight for Janmashtami and once in a while we used to visit ISKCON temple in Delhi, which used to be decked up beautifully with flowers.
Memory bank: Jasmin Bhasin
The fondest memory of my childhood is going to see Lord Krishna ‘jhankis’. The beautiful ‘jhankis’ are very pleasing. I am a firm believer of Lord Krishna's philosophy.
Religious fervour: Krip Kapur Suri
I am from Delhi and Janmashtami is big there. People make decorated jhankis (models) outside their houses showing Lord Krishna’s birth. They are so interesting and innovative. I love to eat kheer puri and especially Krishna’s favourite white makhan with paranthas.
Firm believer: Jay Soni
I got the offer of playing Lord Krishna recently. This is the first time I will be playing God. I am a firm believer in Lord Krishna. I like his persona and aura.
