Actress Mahika Sharma feels that lockdown makes fasting during the festival of navratri difficult. "Every year, I keep the nine-day long fast. But the time passes very fast without any trouble. As I stay busy whole day working. But now when I have to be at home every hour makes me feel hungry. However, I consume fresh fruit and juices but affording them is another challenge looking to their price. Finally, tomorrow I end my fast after offering prayer to the Goddesses, " the actress tells IANS.

Talking about her celebration amidst lockdown, she said: "I'm observing the nine-day puja without a priest. For the vidhis and mantras I'm taking help from the internet. Also I'm cooking the prasad myself since the first day. I will skip kanya pujan this year and will donate a fund for NGO working for girl child in the city."
