Inspired by our Honourable Governor’s leadership and vision, I urge all Indians to participate in this movement again. Eco-friendly idols aren’t just a trend, they’re the right way. No POP means less pollution, less damage to our water bodies, and a little more care for the resources we’ve been blessed with”.

Moved by a performance, the 'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai' actress said, "Maine bhi abhi kuch samay pehle apna pehla Karwa Chauth manaya apne husband ke saath aur mujhe woh beauty aapke act mein dikhi, where I felt that you both looked like two bodies, one soul (I, too, celebrated my first Karwa Chauth with my husband some time ago, and I saw that same beauty reflected in your performance, where I felt that the two of you looked like two bodies and one soul)”.
Hina shared that Rocky had also observed a fast during their first Karwa Chauth for her well-being.
