&TV Actresses Priyamvada Kant, Sonal Panwar and Vidisha Srivastava Share Their Favourite Christmas Memories!
As Christmas bells ring and twinkling lights brighten homes, the festive season brings with it joy, nostalgia, and togetherness. &TV artists including Priyamvada Kant (Latika in Gharwali Pedwali), Sonal Panwar (Malaika in Happu Ki Ultan Paltan), and Vidisha Srivastava (Anita Bhabhi in Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai) share how they plan to celebrate Christmas at home this year and recall their most memorable school-day celebrations that continue to warm their hearts.
Priyamvada Kant, who plays Latika in Gharwali Pedwali, shares, “Christmas has always held a special place in my heart, not just for the gifts and decorations but for the warmth it brings. I vividly remember celebrating it in school decorating classrooms, exchanging handmade cards, and sneaking extra slices of plum cake from the canteen! One year, I played an angel in our school’s Christmas play, and that is still one of my fondest memories. This year, I plan to celebrate at home with my family and close friends. We will be baking cookies, watching Christmas movies, and exchanging Secret Santa gifts. I love creating a cozy, laughter-filled evening, with carols playing in the background. For me, Christmas is all about gratitude and giving making people around you feel loved.”
Sonal Panwar, known for her role as Malaika in Happu Ki Ultan Paltan, recalls, “During school days, Christmas used to be pure magic! I remember eagerly waiting for the ‘Christmas Mela’ and being fascinated by the decorations and the joyful atmosphere. My friends and I would decorate our classroom with paper snowflakes and tiny stars. Once, I even dressed up as Santa for a skit and handing out chocolates to everyone made me feel like a real one (laughs). This year, I am planning a small, warm celebration at home with my family. I will decorate our living room with fairy lights and maybe host a Secret Santa game for my cousins. There is something truly heartwarming about keeping the childlike wonder of Christmas alive, no matter how old we get.”
Vidisha Srivastava, who plays Anita Bhabhi in Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai, adds, “This Christmas feels truly special because we are celebrating it on set with the entire &TV family after a long time! The team has organized a lovely Christmas party with decorations, cake, and a fun Secret Santa exchange. I had been eagerly waiting for this celebration it is such a wonderful feeling to come together, laugh, and share festive moments with everyone. What has made it even more joyful is Shilpa Shinde’s return to the show. Having her back has brought renewed energy and excitement to the team. The atmosphere is filled with happiness and laughter, and it genuinely feels like a family reunion. For me, this Christmas is all about togetherness, gratitude, and spreading smiles and I could not have asked for a better way to celebrate it!”
