Model, actor, marathoner Milind Soman’s wife Ankita Konwar is a native of Assam. Due to the lockdown, she couldn't celebrate the festival of Rongali Bihu with her family and friends.
In order to uplift his wife’s mood, he did an egg fight with her, which is a part of the Rongali Bihu celebrations. Sharing a photo, Milind wrote, “Happy Rongali Bihu to the world @ankita_earthy is missing her family in Guwahati, so we had a small egg fight to celebrate, which, apparently, is the thing to do!! To all the people separated at this time, from families, friends and other loves, enjoy this time of missing each other, you will be reunited soon!! Be safe!!”
The picture, which has got over 54 thousand likes on Instagram alone, was clicked by his mother Usha Soman. The couple can be seen wearing traditional attire. Ankita teamed up a multi-coloured neckpiece with a golden brown saree, while Milind can be seen wearing a white kurta with a traditional Assamese scarf. Ankita too shared a boomerang video from the occasion with a heartwarming caption. In the clip, the much in love couple can be seen playing with the eggs at their residence in Mumbai.
Today is the New Year’s Day in Assam. I know there’s not much celebrations happening right now considering the situation but I miss all of it! Growing up, I had the chance to learn about our tradition and customs from my grandfather (puthadeu) who is as wise as they come. Learning Bihu songs from my grandma (anaideu) and Bihu dance from my aunts ???? Stealing and eating Pithas and ladoos from the kitchen ???? Waiting out at night to welcome the #husoridol Waiting for #bihu gifts. Waking up to the smell of #kumalsaul with cream and curd. Dressing up as a #bihuoti and dancing till we were tired. I LOVE the sound of #pepa and #gagana as much as I love my culture. Well, it’s quite evident from my post that some major missing happening here ???? So here’s wishing you all a very happy #rongalibihu !! These are difficult times, let’s count our blessings. Let’s be grateful for what we have (family, love, food) and celebrate that. Love to you all ❤️ . . @milindrunning tried cheering me up with an egg fight ???? I won btw ???? #rongalibihu #happiness #love #missing #happybihu A post shared by Ankita Konwar (@ankita_earthy) onView this post on Instagram
