Ankita Lokhande will be celebrating her first Karwa Chauth with her husband Vicky Jain this year. She said that she has been celebrating Karwa Chauth for 2-3 years now. Now that she is married to her husband, she is so happy to fast for him.

Ankita does not believe that fasting is only for married women. “I don’t know yaar. All of my friends used to do it. Even I started doing pooja once the moon came out. I have never kept a fast where I am not even having water. But, I just wanted to do something with all my whole heart. Hence, I did it back then,” said she.

She agreed that the first time is always unforgettable. “This time I am really hoping to do it with devotion. I hope I will be able to keep a nirjala fast. Vicky has promised me gifts. I am looking forward to those,” laughed she.

Is her husband Vicky Jain fasting too? Ankita revealed, “I have asked him too. He told me ‘baby I will eat when you eat.’ I am sure he will wait for me to finish my fast and till then he won’t eat anything. But, let’s see how long I can go without eating.”

Ankita and Vicky’s first Karwa Chauth is made even more memorable by their friends. Ankita said, “I have kept a very big function at my place. All of my friends from the TV industry are coming. Many of them are also having their first Karwa Chauth. The idea is to celebrate it together. Maza ayega (It’s going to be fun).”

Yuvika Chaudhary, Shraddha Arya, Divyanka Tripathi, and Mouni Roy will be among those attending the celebration. “I have called for dholak players and people to sing. Ponds have been created at our house. Around 6-6:30 pm, Katha will be recited for all of us,” explained she. She adding that it will be a full-fledged traditional evening with everyone dressed in red. Ankita will also be wearing a bright red lehenga.
