"This Baisakhi is extra special as I am married and have an Oscar", SaysGuneet Monga opens up on celebrating Baisakhi!

Today is Baisakhi, and for Guneet Monga, the occasion is particularly meaningful. The producer's recent professional and personal achievements of getting married and winning an Oscar are the cause for this.

She is anticipating spending her first Sikh New Year in Delhi with her husband, businessman Sunny Kapoor. “This Baisakhi is extra special as I am married and have an Oscar. I also have my parents this time (referring to her in-laws). I lost my parents very early in life. So, I am looking forward to my mother-in-law feeding me the amazing things she cooks,” says Monga.

Besides “looking forward to going to the gurdwara, listening to shabads and paying my gratitude” today, the producer will also try her hand at cooking. “I make the best kada prasad,” she exclaims.

Talking about her Baisakhi rituals, Monga adds, “Baisakhi has always been all about going to the gurdwara. I would go to Bangla Sahib (a gurdwara in Delhi). Even if I wasn’t home on Baisakhi, I would manage to find a gurdwara wherever I was. I remember I was in Goa once and while all my friends were partying, I was like, ‘Mujhe gurdwara jaana hai’.”
