With films like ‘Laal Rang’ ‘Mirza Juliet’ in Bollywood and an equally impressive list of films down south, Pia Bajpiee has lots to smile about. On the occasion of ‘Navratri 2022’, Mid-Day Online caught up with her for an exclusive interview, wherein she revealed an interesting secret about how she never got hurt while playing dandiya.

What unique things are you seeing about ‘Navratri 2022’?
The most unique thing this year is that everyone is getting a chance to play garba and dandiya after the pandemic. Needless to say that, there will be a different level of excitement during this year’s Navratri.

Are you a dandiya person or garba? Have you ever got hurt playing with dandiya sticks?
I am neither a dandiya person nor a garba person. I don’t play. I usually don’t get time for this. I have never played. That’s how I am safe from being hurt.

Which is your all-time favorite Dandiya song from Bollywood?
‘Dholi taaro’ track is my favourite from the film ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’.

Do you fast during the nine days?
I don’t fast every year.This year, I was finding it difficult to fast, But, suddenly, I felt that I must fast during Navratri. So, this year, I am fasting.

Do you follow the colour code for all the nine days?
In our daily hectic schedule, it becomes really difficult to follow color code. Somehow, I am unable to maintain those dress code during 9 days.

What’s your take on accessories? Are you a minimal person or you prefer the ‘quintessential’ Navratri make up?
It’s not about just Navratri or any other festival. I simply love bracelets and bangles. I also love the long earrings like the jhumkas, which happens to be one of my favourite accessories. I usually wear it even if there is no festival.
