Anushka Sharma Extends Warm Wishes on Chhath Pooja with a Heartfelt Beachside Post
Bollywood star Anushka Sharma shared a beautiful glimpse of Chhath Pooja celebrations, featuring a serene beachside setting where devotees gather in reverence. The actress took to social media (Instagram) to extend her heartfelt wishes, posting a vibrant photo capturing families celebrating along the shoreline. The setting radiates the spirit of Chhath Pooja, an ancient Hindu festival that honors the Sun God (Surya) and his wife Usha, symbolizing energy, vitality, and life itself.


Chhath Pooja is one of the most revered festivals in India, especially in states like Bihar, Jharkhand, and Uttar Pradesh. It is primarily celebrated by the Bihari community and is known for its deep spiritual roots and rigorous rituals. The festival spans four days and includes fasting, abstaining from drinking water, and offering prayers to the Sun God at dawn and dusk by the riverside or any water body. Chhath Pooja is typically observed around October-November, coinciding with the start of winter, and symbolizes gratitude, devotion, and the connection between humans and nature.


Anushka was recently spotted with her husband, cricketer Virat Kohli, at a Krishna Keertan in Mumbai during Karwa Chauth celebrations. The couple’s spiritual side has often been admired by fans, and their presence at religious events emphasizes their connection to traditional values and Indian culture.

On the professional front, Anushka Sharma is set to return to the screen with the much-anticipated movie Chakda Xpress, a sports biographical drama inspired by the life of Indian cricketer Jhulan Goswami. Fans are eagerly awaiting this project, as it marks Anushka's return to cinema in a significant role after a hiatus. The actress has trained extensively to portray the cricketing legend, promising an inspiring performance.
