“Fashion, to me, is anything that adds value to your exterior presence,” he explains. “Whether it’s clothes, bags, or even mobile phones, anything that beautifies and creates interest is fashion.” According to Saanand, the influence of fashion extends to the world of technology. He points out that people often buy high-end gadgets, like iPhones, to make a fashion statement, even opting for installment plans despite cheaper alternatives being available.

“People purchase iPhones due to fashion ambitions,” Saanand notes. “It’s a choice governed by the desire to align with trends. Personally, I wish mobile phones would disappear, and we could return to using landlines. That’s what I desire.” This view highlights how fashion has permeated nearly every aspect of modern life, influencing decisions that go beyond mere clothing.

Sharing the significance of Maha Shivratri, he said, “Maha Shivratri is a celebration of Lord Shiva. It is powerful, and in it, we deeply feel the presence of the divine in our existence. Observing the Maha Shivratri fast while expressing our faith in Lord Shiva is a symbol of strength and truth.”

“Just chanting “Har Har Mahadev” and keeping Lord Shiva in my heart, constantly thinking about him, feeling his power and divinity within myself—that’s the ritual, that’s worshiping Shiva,” he added.

The actor has kept a fast most of his life on Maha Shivratri, with occasional breaks, but this time he is planning to do it throughout the festival. He also stressed that true happiness in life comes by the grace of Shiva, and through the divine hand of the Almighty.

“The greatest secret to progress in life is having the support of Shiva. When Shiva wishes, only then can we find joy in life. Keeping Shiva pleased with our actions should be our constant effort,” he concluded.

Rani Mukerji says, ‘In the 25 years that I have so lovingly spent in the Indian film industry, I have never spoken my heart out about my life and my journey in cinema. As women in cinema, we are constantly judged and the book delves into my personal trials and tribulations and the impact it had on me, as I navigated the industry and my career. I haven’t had the time to pause, look back on my life, retrospectively and introspectively. This memoir was my way of reminiscing what I have been through right from my childhood.
