As Chhath Puja approaches, Ayushmann Khurrana is celebrating the festival’s traditions and cultural significance through a special song, Bulaye Chhathi Maa, from his upcoming film Yeh Prem Mol Liya. Directed by Sooraj Barjatya, the film also stars Sharvari. The song offers a glimpse into the devotion, faith and emotions associated with Chhath Puja, a festival celebrated with great enthusiasm across Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, along with several other parts of the country.
Interestingly, the song also marks a personal experience for Ayushmann, who got an opportunity to witness and participate in Chhath Puja celebrations for the first time. Coming from a Punjabi family, the actor had never been part of the festival’s rituals before. However, being on the sets of Yeh Prem Mol Liya introduced him to a tradition that left a lasting impression on him.
Speaking about his experience, Ayushmann said, “As a Punjabi, I had never celebrated Chhath Puja before, so experiencing the festival for the first time was special for me. What stood out to me was the emotion and significance attached to Chhath and how beautifully it brings people together. Every ritual has its own meaning, with so much faith and devotion behind it. For me, it was much more than just shooting a song; I got to be part of a beautiful tradition that was completely new to me.”
The actor also recalled an emotional moment recalling the incident, Ayushmann added, “There was also a very special moment before we shot the Chhath Puja climax sequence. Soorajji brought the entire cast together and played the Chhath Puja song for us. It was such an emotional moment that everyone had tears in their eyes. That stayed with all of us and made the sequence even more meaningful. The entire cast was moved by the way Soorajji approached the Chhath sequence and the importance he gave to capturing its traditions and sentiments in the most realistic way.”
