Mohit Malhotra talks about Baisakhi, family and more

Baisakhi is the time when the entire family gets together: Mohit Malhotra

Popular television actor Mohit Malhotra currently seen in &TV’s Daayan was recently left overwhelmed with a pleasant surprise on the auspicious festival of Baisakhi. The handsome actor has been celebrating this festival for since several years with his close family members back in Delhi. Despite being held up with his shoot, Mohit would make it a point to travel back home for the festival. “Baisakhi is more than just a beginning of a new year to us. It’s the one time that the entire family gets together to celebrate a new start in our lives as well as have a nostalgic trip down memory lane.” 

Recently the actor had travelled to Mussoorie to celebrate his birthday and was hoping to make a trip back home to celebrate this festival with his family. Due to a back-to-back and erratic shoot schedule, the actor was unable to get time off and was a tad disappointed at the thought of not being with his family on this occasion. However, Mohit was in for a pleasant surprise when his mother and maternal aunt decided to pay him a surprise visit in Bombay to celebrate the festival with him instead.

Sharing his happiness, the actor said, It was literally an overwhelming moment for me to see my mom and my maasi at my doorstep on a Sunday morning. I had really not expected them to fly down all the way from Delhi to be with me on this festival. I was a bit upset and had planned to visit a Gurudwara on my own to keep the festive spirit alive.  With them by my side along with my bhaiya and bhabhi, we celebrated the festival by visiting 4 bungalows Gurudwara in Andheri followed by relishing the delicious langar. I spent the first half of the day shooting for Daayan and took the rest of the day off to spend with my family.” 

While the actor may have had a jolly start to his year, his character Akarsh Chaudhary continues to haunt Jhanvi Morya (Tinaa Dattaa) as the Daayan. Having held her entire family hostage, Jhanvi is left with no other choice but to leave Akarsh heartbroken with her actions. Will Jhanvi and Akarsh ever find a way to be with each other?
